My GXL's rotors came off with little problem, and they certainly weren't new.

I think how difficult brake work is depends greatly on where you live, if the car is driven in snow / salt, **** gets rusted up and becomes a pain in the ***. I worked at a carx in illinois for slightly less than a year in a previous life, they salt in illinois, people treat their cars like **** here too. Nothing seems difficult to work on after that ****. Just bring out the hammer, cutting torch, saws all, air, and pry bar. The rest is history.

Working on piece of **** GM minivans that just rolled in off a snow covered salt infested road is something nobody should be subjected to.

- I just realised how foul my language has become since getting an apt with my gf, she's rubbing off on me. Sorry guys <_<
