Cleaning of RotorsCleaning of Rotors

Cleaning of Rotors

The AeroRotors supplied with this kit are coated with a water-soluble, environmentally friendly rust

inhibitor. This coating MUST BE WASHED OFF WITH SOAP AND WATER before installation.

Brake cleaner is not as effective as soap and water. Even if it doesn’t look as if anything is coming off

the rotor, the rust inhibitor is there, and must be entirely cleaned. Rotors will quickly rust without

protection, so if the rotor is not rusty, it’s still coated. After cleaning, you may see the rotor start to

develop a slight rust color. This is normal, and indicates that all of the rust inhibitor has been

removed.

Proper rotor and pad bed-in is essential to the performance of your new brake system. Failure to

properly bed-in the brakes will seriously impact how well they work, and how long they will last.

The number one cause of brake vibration is uneven pad material deposition on the rotor. Proper bed-

in will greatly minimize such problems. Follow, as closely as possible, the bed-in procedure detailed

later in this manual, or refer to the StopTech website at

stock caliper to the inner face of your wheel spokes, or make a template according to the instruc-

tions on the website, to determine if a wheel spacer is necessary. DO THIS BEFORE YOU IN-
