Rusted Brake Rotor?
I just came back from a vacation to find one of my brake rotors is completely full of rust. The funny thing about is that it just happed to one of them.
My question:
Will the rust come off? Will it affect my braking capabilities? Will I need to buy a new rotor?
Thanks in advance

Drive it for about ten miles, and brake as normal.. All will be gone. And no to your other questions. The rotors if they get put up wet, or attract moisture, will rust on the surface lightly over a short time. You must remember these are not made of the same composition as rotors on other cars. These are made of softer steel so they wear with the brake pads.
