This wheel hub cleaning tool takes the hub mounting surface back to clean metal in seconds, so a new rotor sits perfectly flat. Rust and scale on the hub face are a common cause of brake vibration and uneven wear after a pad and rotor job, and a wire brush rarely gets it all.
It is made for home mechanics and anyone doing their own brakes on a car, light truck or SUV. Chuck the holder into a 1/2-inch impact wrench or a power drill, and the abrasive pads scrub the face, work around the studs and reach into the bolt holes without the elbow grease.

Good to know
Use the wheel hub cleaning tool every time you replace rotors, not just when you see heavy rust. Wear eye protection while it spins, and wipe away the loosened dust before you fit the new rotor.
