Funny thing is right now I’m doing the rear brake job on my 2000 BMW 528i and the sealing design of the caliper pins is different but the service manual says DON’T put any grease to the caliper pins! I usually turn my used rotors or drums as I feel throwing these things away is kind of a waste. But I found not only the places doing resurfacing rotors are scarce nowadays (only O’Reilly and Pep Boys in Dallas area), but also they’re pretty expensive ($25 ~ $50 each (last time it was $10 ~ $15 just a few years ago). From my experience the German cars I’ve owned, VW and BMW, they usually have very soft rotors. I simply can’t turn those rotors after a single pad life. I eventually found a nice manager at Brakes Plus near by and he’s willing to turn my rotors for $25 cash each. But after the measurement of the rotor thickness, the number simply too close to the minimum and he wouldn’t do it. Then just ordered Ate brake pads and rotors from FCP Euro.
