[Shotimes] REAR ROTORS

[Mark D. Mallory]

The brackets are made of metal which can warp from heat just like the
rotors.  Where the heat cycle releives internal stresses in the metal
allowing it to deform. I suppose they can possibly get bent when you try to
drive with the e-brake on.  I'm totally open to any other suggestions on
this...

What I do know is that the brackets, regardless of how, were the root cause
of my problems.  BTW, I would recommend to anyone thinking about replacing
slider pins that they go ahead and get new brackets since they come with new
slider pins.  Better than buying the pins twice, IMHO.

As far as bleeding... I've noticed no difference in peddle stiffness while
bleeding the rear brakes with the rear end off the ground.  Personal
preference on this one.
