Anyone out there who can tell me how to prevent rust on my brake rotors---I know--I know--drive it more. We are parked for 6-7 months a year and if there is anything I can do to prevent surface rust from accumulating on the brake rotors, I would welcome suggestions. Thanks.

If you remove the brake calipers and wirebrush the rust from the caliper slides (so that when you reinstall the caliper it slides freely), then you can remove caliper and apply lube before final assembly and you will defeat the rust problem.

Those of you who use the motor coach at regular intervals should do this service at 6 months interval.

The surface rust on the rotor will take care of itself with use.

Best Wishes, Leslie
