DOUG JENKINS: Hi. I'm Doug. I work with 20 great guys in Saint Louis at Doug Jenkins' Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Ship, they cover it in grease and other kinds of goop to keep it from rusting. Any unpainted steel will rust on your car, so if this were a real high end job, we'd be painting parts of the rotor that aren't in contact with the break pad, but it's pretty normal to just clean the grease off and leave them be. It had a ton of grease on it when we got it, so he's cleaning it up real nice. And he's cleaning it in place 'cause he's got grease on his hands when he's working, putting the bearing together and all. So no sense cleaning her twice. MARK: It's only one part. DOUG JENKINS: What? MARK: It's all I got for you. DOUG JENKINS: We got calipers. MARK: Yeah, we can install them now.
