i will blame this on the tree incident...the same tree that lost me the best paint award at the show.
seriously, looks like i'll be doing some brake repairs. i will take the wheel to the pressure washer car wash place and blast it clean and rattle can it.
thanks for the answers, although it wasn't the answer i was hoping for it was the answer i was expecting. :-(
