Napa list them for $22/each, $18ish else where (but shipping and time count too). Not a big deal. I got them off fine, soaked in PB Blaster for a few hours and beat with a rubber mallet, they're in the Dodge and I'm hoping to sneak off to a local service shop to see if they're turnable or need to be replaced.
This all started because of a rhythmic "clanking". I suspected rattle spring/thin pads, all was fine there, I can SEE the rotor is warped, don't have meter to check but I set one of the caliper shims on a block of wood next the rotor edge and spun it by hand and watched the rotor push the shim out, by eyeball, a 16th", way too much but just eyeballing it.
I'm surprised I didn't feel this in the pedal at all.
Called shop; $11/each to turn, if turnable (if they're warped as bad as I suspect, they ain't turning that out I wouldn't think).
$22 for new. Sure looks like new is the way to go.
BUT
I have to wonder if I'm not chasing a red herring since there was not the usual evidence of rotor warpage that I'm used to (pulse/flutter in the pedal)
I'm going to bring them in and have them verify warpage.
