Professional Rust Removal – 3M Scotch-Brite Brake Hub Cleaning Disc Kit (21758, 5 Discs)

Reliable Hub Prep Without Stud Damage

Rusted brake hubs cause rotor runout, brake pulsation, and premature pad wear. This professional brake hub cleaning disc kit from 3M removes corrosion 5x faster than wire brushes while protecting wheel stud threads completely, reducing prep time by 60% and supporting speeds up to 20,000 RPM. The silicon carbide discs safely clean brake hubs without requiring masking tape or thread protectors, extending disc life by 2x compared to traditional abrasives.

Key Benefits That Set This Kit Apart

Stud-Safe Hub Design - The hollow center design slides over wheel studs without requiring masking tape or thread protectors. Unlike wire brushes that can damage threads, these discs clean around studs safely while reaching every surface contour for professional brake preparation.
Fast Silicon Carbide Removal - Each disc features sharp silicon carbide mineral in a non-woven nylon web that removes rust and scale without excessive material removal. The open web structure resists loading and clogging for consistent performance, cutting cleaning time by 60%.
Quick-Change Roloc Efficiency - The included Roloc holder connects to die grinders and right-angle tools for instant disc changes. No threading, no fumbling with attachments – just twist-on, twist-off productivity that reduces setup time between vehicles by up to 75%.
Professional Grade Durability - Industrial-strength construction handles continuous use at speeds up to 20,000 RPM. Each disc maintains cutting efficiency for 8–12 brake hubs, providing consistent surface preparation quality that eliminates brake comebacks and ensures proper rotor seating.
