Yes, that is the plan. Just have to decide what to use to abrade. Will experiment on another old set on the bench.
Taking a break!
Anyone trying this, a tip. In order to mount the rotors without the wheels, you will need some short bolts. Just hex head M12x1.5. Short enough so the thread does not protrude and contact the emergency brake parts. I was able to use an old set of caliper mounting bolts with a larger nut under head as a spacer. Threads didn't protrude at all.
Trying to do both sides may work if up on a hoist. I suspect I will have to reverse the rotor and do both sides from outside.
Did some experimenting and not sure I can get the rotors in good enough shape. May have to bite bullet and buy a new set. But we will see.
