The "Hockey Puck" that presses the pad against the rotor didnt get it? Id think that thing would be toast,,Id expect to see that replaced, I couldnt make out what part youre saying rubbed & galled onto the rotor, but, the rotor itself should save. Maybe you can do it yourself. I think I could. If you touch it w/ the grinder in a spot or 2, Id say no biggee.. but if you gouge it up & haul hunks of it out, could lead to warping & naturally, slightly decreased brake surface. Id hold the grinder disk so it left whatever marks its gonna leave as close to In Line with the path of the pads as possible as opposed to working across the path of the pads on the disk. Im gonna look at the pics again,,
Okay,, NOW I get it, ya got the pads on the hockey puck side,,
Now the question is, is the caliper worn off square or at a taper? That edge supports the pad & presses it against the rotor square & straight. YOu may see decreased performance until the brake pad has worn itself to fit between caliper & rotor unless you can shim it. It may not be enough to sweat. Put it together after the rotor is cleaned up & hit the brakes & look for a gap between rotor & pad. May not be near as bad as youre thinking,
