hey my rear rotor is warped and it makes the brakes grab at that point!
* should i try to fix them (and does anyone have any hints in doing this)
* throw them out and buy new (these were new and already warped but have been used now and ordered from crc so cant really send them back)

Depends on how warped is "warped" ??

presuming its just annoying ... but bad enough that loosening your caliper bolts and adjusting that way can't reduce the annoying rub ... then you can

i) buy a rotor truing wrench ...
you basically find the warped section(s) ... slip the rotor into the wrench and slowly, but firmly twist/pull/lever the puppy straighter then it was *fingers crossed

ii) alternatively you can use an adjustable wrench ... just wind it in ... I suggest the bigger the better in this occasion.



iii) Otherwise


yes I be bored
