    On your Dremel drill dying... I've sent a couple back to their factory and had it repaired or upgraded for a really fair price. Great tool... can't be without it!

    I didn't even think about doing that I took it apart and cleaned everything and reshaped the brushes and it still didn't work so I tossed it. Looking back that was probably a stupid move lol. I think me and my dad are gonna go in 50/50 ob a dremal 4000 (we had the 3000). We are both missing it

    Send it to them anyway... I totally roached one and they sent me the new model for 20 bucks or so. Even if you get a new one a back up is a good thing!

    Did the brakes yesterday. I was going to order ebc green stuff pads but mine where worse than I thought and the front driver started to make this nasty scratching/squealing sound so I had to go to advanced auto and get some pads. I got Wagner premium Simi Metallics. I didn't replace or resurface the rotors but hopefully I'll get to that next week. Here's the pics of the old pads vs the new ones [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Yep, those are shot. How do the rotors look, any gouging or scratches? Depending on mileage, they might not be able to turn them.

    To me the rotors don't look terrible but they definitely have seen better days. I'm not sure on the milage I'll probably end up getting new ones.

    Depending on how grooved your rotors are, you might screw up your new pads with them.

    They aren't terrible I'll still probably get new rotors tho
    Those groves look a lot deeper in the pic than they actually are[​IMG]

    I'm with Brendon.

    Those rotors will chew deep grooves
    into the new pads in no time.

    Best get them resurfaced or
    replaced soon.
