Sorry I have been emailing the forum so much. I am getting ready to move on to my next phase of fixing up the coach, overhauling the brake system.

The coach sat for 7 years and the front rotors have a lot of rust. I will either need to take them off to get them cut or put new ones on. Here is a picture of them.

First, is it plausible to cut rotors with that much rust or should I get new ones? Frankly I don’t even know who still cuts rotors around here.

Secondly I know that I will need to pull the bearings to get at the rotors. The coach has 13,500 miles on it. Assuming I acquire a bearing puller is it possible to pull the bearings repack them and put them back on (with new seals) or do I defiantly need new bearings? With the proper tools is the bearing job that hard, I’d like to do it myself but some of the pages say leave it to experts.

Thats all for now!

Thanks,
Dan
