Maybe I should have told you that the bracket and the caliper had to be
removed from the hub so I could get the rotors off to be turned. True, I
did not have to pull out the guide pins, but all the manuals I have ever
seen on Japanese brake (in fact any type) repair always say to lube the pins
for free movement. I used high temp bearing grease to accomplish this. I
have done many brake jobs in the past. Sometimes all I did was replace the
pads as Billy described, but there was a shudder in the steering wheel when
the brakes were applied at speed which disappeared since the rotors were
turned. All I really was wondering about was the rubber tipped end of one
guide pin on each side and the purpose of it.
