Subject:Syncro front discs - general brake Q.
From:van man

Hi Volks,

The right front brakes on my 87 Syncro started
grinding Friday afternoon one hour into a weekend road
trip.  I decided to push on and suffer the
consequences later.  After inspections this morning,
its quite obvious I have worn through a decent amount
of the front right disc.  A couple of questions:

1.  Can discs be machined or repaired, or do I need to
get new ones?

2.  Is replacing all the front brakes components on a
syncro a difficult job?  Ive never done brakes before,
but have managed shocks, starer, cv joints, etc..

3.  Anything I else I should check out for replacement
while in there?

Thanks,

Jeff
