Hi all,

Hoping for a little help with my first front disc change on my 2004
quest...  I had a few questions:

Q1. http://s89590977.onlinehome.us/QuestBrakes1.JPG

If you take a look at that pic, you see some dried white stuff on the
caliper bolt/pin.  They were hard to get out & I'm wondering if that
white stuff is some sort of loctite or equivilent.  I covered them in
caliper grease before re-installing, but I'm worried now that they may
loosen up.

Q2. http://s89590977.onlinehome.us/QuestBrakes2.JPG

I got some replacement pads from CarQuest (a local parts store here).  
They had an adhesive stick on shim that gets glued to the back of the
pad.  Do I need to install the two metal pieces (show off left, on right)
from the OEM pads onto the replacement pads?  I don't think so since the
caliper wouldn't fit over the assembly with those added, but I just
wanted to check.

Q3. (no pic this time ;)

Twice over the past year when the van was at the Nissan garage, they
decided (without asking) to 'turn the rotors' due to a shimmy.  I do have
36k on the van, but I've never turned roters before on any of my other
cars - with the understanding that it was kind of a ripoff and that you
had to replace them after a turn or two.

Should I ask that they replace the rotors since they turned them twice in
the 1st year, or does the Quest have rotors that tolerate multiple
turnings?

Thanks!
