I will check the pump, good tip.

While my wheels are off I measured my rotors.
FL 24.85, FR 25, RL 22.95, RR 22.85

Some variances and I could probably have measured more spots and averaged them out, but what I am seeing is that the front rotors are *way* below spec (new 28mm, wear limit 26mm) and the backs are a shade below 50% wear (new 24, wear limit 22 mm)

Luckily I have some nearly new front rotors courtesy of Jaxonalden, and new Akebono pads. (The old pads have a lot of life but if I am going to new rotors I should go to new pads too?) I have some stainless brake lines too, maybe I will go hog wild and do everything

Luckily I have through the rest of the week off
