Grinding sound

I would start with a brake inspection & checking the rear wheel bearings

Check the parking brake for drag, also. Most likely, rear shoes are going, if not gone.

it sounds like the brake pads are worn out to the rivets, and/or the caliper is stuck

new pads, worst case new calipers and rotors, will fix that

you may be able to cut the old rotors, but they are so cheap now, it's better to just buy new ones.

Moron! If the pad material was worn to the rivets, it'd grind MORE when applied.

Further proof that Charles M. Nudo, Jr of Drums, PA is an incompent mechanic, lies about his "automotive knowledge" and is a Usenet troll. Block his addresses in your kill filer now:

snipped-for-privacy@hotmail.com snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com snipped-for-privacy@yahoo.com

If we take your advice to kill-file him, and we all continue to read your enlightening posts, we will see his posts anyway because you keep replying to everything he writes, including the ones he deletes through Google. What kind of sense does that make?

It wouldn't. I thought you'd already kill filed me!

It's obvious to me that Charlie Nudo has attached himself like a virus to this NG after stalking me in here, and is ruining it through his usual plan of sedition and division, so enjoy. I'm not having any more of it.

Don't tease us.

If you would take your GM (General Maintenance) discussions to a Chitty Chebby group, we wouldn't have to worry about either one of you.
