young nephew needs help with his dodge diesel in Orlando area

He doesn't know a thing and has little too no tools. He wore a brake rotor down to where it can't be driven. He has the parts but no tools and no know how. Anyone willing to lend a hand to the poor guy? ??

Not anywhere close for me to help but I did have a buddy that wore his down so far all that was left was the fins. It was an incredible sight and I would have never guessed it could be done without seeing it.

He wore his down so far it almost locked up the wheel. He plans to work on it tonite after work. I guess he got a ride to work today. If anyone still wants to help they may do so.

Not to worry. He usually limits the kills to only five.

So what? There's still some left. Rotors are expensive, you might as well get your money's worth.

Rotors are CHEAP.. I have ford knuckles on my truck, I picked up rotors for $40 each.. and the exchange rate isn't even that good right now. PADS are expensive.. I paid $130 for my Hawk pads.. thankfully they last me over 100,000 kms

Yeah...rotors are cheap but when he destroys the unit bearing hub trying to get it out of the knuckle they get pretty pricey!
