Ever since I've owned my 94...there has always been slow air leaks in both rear tires...so today loaded up the tires in the Vibe and took a ride to NTB...
The RR tire ended up with a nail that has been in there forever... They couldn't find a leak in the LR tire...but since I was there had both tires removed (RR) to be repaired and LR to be cleaned.... No signs of any dry rot outside or inside of both tires....which are from 2012....they both look great....so good news there....and the tire sensor just fell off the RR inside wheel....so no biggie there....recleaned the wheels and tires with Stoner tire dressing and Speedy....not pristine or show wheels...but decent for a driver... Still have more to do to get back on the road....but progress being made....[emoji16][emoji16] Pic #1....the nail that has been with me for the last 6 plus years... Pic #2....recleaned all of the wheels with Stoner tire dressing and Speedy.... Pic #3...3 done and looking decent...not pristine or show quality...but good for a driver... Pic #4....may get these refinished some day and use my spare set when these get redone.... Pic #5....the tire sensor just fell off the inside of the wheel...may have happen during the removal....20201004_131657.jpg20201004_135850.jpg20201004_143346.jpg20201004_143354.jpg20201004_170024.jpg Sent from my SM-G981U using ZR-1 Net Registry mobile app

Getting more done on the 94....going to clean more of the suspension and install the Hawk brake pads....took the rotors off...I am assuming that these are the originals....if anyone recognizes the markings as originals...please let me know...
Dropped the front rotors off to get cut... Was quoted $15 per rotor....but then when I got there...said $25 per rotor...didn't realize the price went up....but the service person honored what he said on the phone....so I lucked out there....will be done tomorrow... Did a measurement around the rotor at each lug stud location....and in between...my measurements were between 26.55mm to 26.96mm thickness of the rotor...since I found a place to cut them....I did not measure the right side....hoping that they are within specs....[emoji16] Pic #1....LS front rotor....lot of reflection from the lights... Pic #2....back of LS rotor... Pic #3....are these GM Factory markings... Pic #4....another marking.... Pic #5....more cleaning needed here.. Pic #6.....and here.... 20201007_130703.jpg20201007_130439.jpg20201007_130648.jpg20201007_130655.jpg20201007_144851.jpg20201007_144906.jpg Sent from my SM-G981U using ZR-1 Net Registry mobile app

How did you find a place to machine the rotors?
No one around here will do it... |

I got mine done for $60. for all 4 at my local Car Quest... Cutting rotors is very, very easy... Just mic them to make sure they'll be in spec after cutting, throw them on the brake lathe and thats it... machine does the work...
