V28VX37 Posted January 13, 2016 Author Share Posted January 13, 2016 Angle grinder or tin snips. Take as much/close as you can basically. I used an angle grinder, because power tools. Oh awesome I have two, one for each hand! Ooo that'll be a fun project...

GTRPSI Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 Yuh, I think it is something that falls into the category of "modifying a braking or steering system" (to paraphrase their various publications) on which the rules are pretty much "don't touch anything unless you get it engineered"....and they apply that rule in blanket fashion as it is easier than thinking. Rock shields might not do much......but they are there and they were put there by the factory, so there they must say unless someone smarter than all of us says they can come off. I think thats probably the most logical answer. Rules to cover arses......if unsure disallow it.....and call it a mod that needs engineering.

iruvyouskyrine Posted January 13, 2016 Share Posted January 13, 2016 They are just pressed into the knuckle. Angle grind a small slot in them and just use a screwdriver or small pry bar to pry them off. It's very easy [emoji4] 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/462187-front-brake-disc-discolouration-on-the-inside/page/2/#findComment-7667036 Share on other sites More sharing options...
V28VX37 Posted March 2, 2016 Author Share Posted March 2, 2016 ... Edit, what colors are the 3 temperature markers going from left to right? If they are White Yellow White, you cooked that baby good, well over 650 degrees, id say the inner part of the rotor went over 900 degrees and glowed a nice cherry red color, hence the burned off paint. Here's what the front rotors look like after about 13,000 street kms and 3 track days - I reckon they've been pretty hot: I'm yet to cut off the rear shields.
