Rear rotor
So last weekend I did the 4 corners brake replacements,I realized that I forgor to put back one of the rubber pieces coming on the rear rotor that seals the opening in the rotor,,,Is it important to put it back now or just wait thank you.
I used alot of nice information from the forum

Think logically ,,, what does the seal do and is there a need
1. Keep the stuff that is inside .. inside
2. Keep the stuff that is outside .. outside.
3. If it was not needed a manufacturer would not go through the trouble of putting one in. [They can make mistakes, but most likely there is a condition that they have encountered/thought of, which may not be evident to you].
I would put it back as soon as I can. But avoid going through puddles and mud etc. If you put it off too long then you should take the rotor off and blast it with compressed air [always put a mask and safety goggles ... for brakes vacuuming is preferred]
