Here's a picture(although it is Brembos) it's still the HHR setup. The big nut in the center? You DON"T remove that for a brake job.

The secret is to only show pictures from about 3 years ago when I first painted them.
Plus, I don't drive it in the rain if at all possible. It's not my DD anyway.

After cleaning off hub snouts of crust & corrosion, wipe it with a very light smear of hi-temp grease.. No more crust & wheels & etc come off like they should..

Fireman-

Thats the ticket...
