Warped Front Rotors?


I was able to get slight movement on the pins, I'm not sure how much I should have, I'll get some brake clean tomorrow and between that and my compressor try to clean them out.
Thanks!
 
 
Having a new front tyre fitted can cause Rotor distortion.. if the tyre fitter doesn't mount the wheel correctly on the tyre press..
I always run RED tape around the rotors at tyre change to remind the heavy handed B*&^%rds to take care of my Brake Rotors..
 
Good point Dennis I always Watch them myself

Tyre fitters sound expensive I'll be watching them a lot more closely in the future

Rest assured Pete if they distort your rotors they will aggresively deny responsibility thats why I red tape around the edge of mine every time.. to remind them and indicate I am watching

When I had my front tyre changed recently both rotors where taped and the shop owner personally changed the tyre so it had the desired affect
 
The rotors getting hot won't necessarily cause them to warp. BUT, if you get a rotor real hot then cool it real fast i.e. going through a puddle of water,,, that will cause them to deform.
