back in the old days my first vehicle had 4 drum brakes.. the drums needed a cut on the outer edge because it was a B+tch to remove with no cut.. then the park brake PITA....rotors I have had no much problems ... but I do put anti seize on the hub surface so the rotor does not lock in place ... some people beat the hell on the rotor to remove it .. locked up with rust..
