No, must be the salty winter roads. I wash the undercarriage regularly but I
guess it misses the pads. But you're right, no excuse for letting them get
that worn.

I just did my rear rotors a few weeks ago.One came off easy,the drivers side didnt.After i noticed the oval rubber plug i slapped myself in the head and said doah.Removed the plug and reached in with a screwdriver and backed the emergency brakes off and the rotor slid right off.The E brakes make a groove and lip so its hard to get them shoes by them.I have no idea why i didnt think of this at first.After working on 6,10 and 18 wheelers for years and had to back brakes off all the time to get drums off i should have known better

Yeah, it was that emergency brake that made it hard. I didn't know you could do that.
good tip!

Because I had one back out that didn't have it on there, guess it's a safety issue, because when one of those backs out on you it'll ruin a pad quick
