Refinishing Rotors off Vehicle Set the cutting bits to the proper cutting depth for machining the ridge. 32-11 Refinishing Rotors off Vehicle By hand, move the cutting head outward toward the ridge. Slowly remove the ridge. 32-11 Refinishing Rotors off Vehicle Once the ridge is removed, run the cutting head all the way in to the inner face of the rotor. 32-11 Refinishing Rotors off Vehicle Set the cutting bits to the proper cutting depth for machining the rotor face. 32-11 Refinishing Rotors off Vehicle Engage the automatic feed on “fast” cut and watch for proper machining action. Some single-cut machines only have one cutting speed. If necessary, repeat this step until all damaged surface areas have been removed on both sides of the rotor. 32-11 Refinishing Rotors off Vehicle If necessary, perform a finish cut on the rotor. This is usually done on “slow” speed. 32-11 Refinishing Rotors off Vehicle Use sandpaper or a drill with a sanding pad to give the rotor faces a nondirectional finish. 32-11 Refinishing Rotors off Vehicle Remeasure the rotor thickness to determine if the rotor is above minimum thickness specifications. 32-11 Inspecting and Replacing Wheel Studs Inspect the wheel studs and lug nuts for damage. Look for signs of stretched studs, cross-threaded lug nuts, and broken-off studs. Determine if the stud can be removed with the flange on or off the vehicle. 32-12 Inspecting and Replacing Wheel Studs To perform the drawing-in method, position the flange so the stud has clearance on the back side to be removed. 32-12 Inspecting and Replacing Wheel Studs Remove any damaged studs with a hammer. Be careful not to damage any of the surfaces on the flange and hub, including the wheel speed sensor and tone ring. 32-12 Inspecting and Replacing Wheel Studs Insert the stud in the hole in the flange and rotate it so that all of the flutes on the stud line up with the notches in the flange. 32-12 Inspecting and Replacing Wheel Studs Place enough heavy-duty washers ove
