ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method of apparatus for refinishing a vehicle brake disc. The brake disc is rotated while in place on the vehicle and is brought into contact with one or more abrading discs, which are rotated as well, thereby grinding the brake disc. The abrading discs are maintained in contact with the brake disc by being mounted on a holder which is secured into a portion of the vehicle which is fixed with respect to the brake disc. The preferred arrangement is to attach the holder to the brake caliper mounting associated with the brake disc to be ground. In a preferred embodiment two abrading discs are used, and they can be adjusted to be slightly out of parallel with one another, so as to grind the brake disc with more pressure in a desired region than in another region.
