How to Prevent Rust on Disc Brake Rotor

Question:

Hi I have these disc brakes on my 5th wheel. They work great my question is how do you prevent rust from forming on the rotor surface when in storage. Thanks

The best thing you can do to help prevent rust on your # K2R526D rotor surface is to clean them before storing the trailer. It is likely you will still get a little surface rust which is a common occurrence and not something to be overly worried about. Once you drive the trailer and hit the brakes a few times the rust will be gone. The only way to completely prevent this would be to upgrade to stainless steel rotors like # KR12S
