If the disks are warped, how would I true them up if I can not turn them on a lathe? Plus I'm not paying for the bits, the school does. I don't want a wobble when I apply the brakes.

If the brake rotors are warped they must be turned on a lathe, if turning them requires more material to be removed than the minimum material condition allows then they are junk.

ok well i think i have been striaghtend out. I will not remove the 4 bolts that are now stripped, due to the unfindable seal. I will remove the caliper as a whole with the two bolt located on the back side, then check the thickness and possibly remove some material if i can. Then paint the unmachined surfaces, with special heat paint, but red not black. Thanks for all your help!
