I have a '96 Ranger that doesn't get driven regularly. The rotors always
'flash rust' between uses and are grabby for the first couple
applications, then they work fine. Rust will (maybe) cause the pads to
wear a little quicker, but I'd let the new owner deal with it.

I have a '96 Ranger that doesn't get driven regularly. The rotors
always 'flash rust' between uses and are grabby for the first couple

to wear a little quicker, but I'd let the new owner deal with it.<br>
