Donny Baja Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Just changed the rear brakes on my 03 Baja. Drove it to the store and both of my new rotors are eaten up. What would cause this? Master cylinder? Both calipers? Help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1 Lucky Texan Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 can you describe or post pics of the damage? any problems during the work? brake hoses get twisted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donny Baja Posted January 18, 2020 Author Share Posted January 18, 2020 Went smoothly, I have changed disc brakes before. Pistons compressed without any difficulty. I could feel it while driving but I didn’t realize how bad it was. The pads dug into the rotors to the point they may or may not be able to be turned. Just do not want to repeat the problem and don’t really know what to check first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numbchux Posted January 20, 2020 Share Posted January 20, 2020 Pads in backwards? What kind of pads and rotors did you use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted January 21, 2020 Share Posted January 21, 2020 pads installed backwards. pictures might help - take pictures of both sides of the rotor before you pull the pad from the caliper bracket so we can see what it's doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
