dbailey is an unknown quantity at this point
I'd take the rotors off and have them turned if you have several thousand miles on them. It's cheap so it certainly can't hurt. Have the pads sanded flat, too! Unless it is a driving snow you can do it even in the cold. It is sooo easy and only two bolts to roll the caliper back. Only have to really take the bottom one out and just loosen the top one. You prolly already knew that. The lube part is just as easy. It comes in a small plastic bottle and while the caliper is rotated up, you just very carefully peel the rubber seal that is around the outside of the piston back and insert the tip of the plastic bottle and let it go from the top. It'll make its way around the piston to the bottom in like 2-3 minutes and then you just put it back together and walla! You're done. No more pulsating and no more creaking. Good luck dude! :thumbsup:
