A fixture and method for simultaneously resurfacing opposite sides of a vehicle disc brake without removing the disc from the vehicle. The wheel of the vehicle and the hydraulic caliper for the disc are removed and the disc is then rotatably driven while opposite sides of the disc are resurfaced. A resurfacing tool fixture is removably mounted directly on the vehicle, for instance on the caliper mount bracket adjacent the disc, and the fixture has a shiftable frame having a pair of opposed carbide tipped tools which engage opposite sides of the disc and which are moved across the entire surface of the disc for complete resurfacing thereof, all without removing the disc from the mounting in the vehicle.

Fixture for resurfacing vehicle brake discs

A fixture for simultaneously resurfacing opposite sides of a vehicle disc brake without removing the disc from the vehicle. The wheel of the vehicle and the hydraulic caliper for the disc are removed and the disc is then rotatably driven while opposite sides of the disc are resurfaced. A resurfacing tool fixture is removably mounted directly on the vehicle, for instance on the caliper mount bracket adjacent the disc and the fixture has a swingable frame that defines a slot and through which the disc rotatably extends. The swingable frame has a pair of opposed carbide tipped tools which engage opposite sides of the disc and which are swung across the entire surface of the disc for complete resurfacing thereof, all without removing the disc from the mounting in the vehicle.
