It's too late now but you should have sanded the hub between the wheel studs to remove the rust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried to get rid of all the rust. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like these as street pads.Next I'm going to put Bendix Ultimate in the front, followed by qfm zx2800. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might give it all an overnight treatment with a few litres of wd40 first! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
