I've got new rotors coming in tomorrow, so I took the old ones off today. I can't see how the rotor comes off the hub, I removed the 5-bolts, but they stay together. Do I need to take them to a shop to get them apart, or is there a trick?
I'm also installing break ducts and I have pieces that bolt behind the rotors. These parts have three holes and bolt to the strut/spindle area. Does anyone know what size bolts I need for these holes? Thanks, Brian |

Its a bit of a poor design really. You have to remove the hub first and then unbolt the disc from it. The wheel bearing cover just pry's off like on the four bolt. Wiggle it off with a large flat bladed screw-driver, first one side then the other until it falls off. Sometimes these have been really tight and I have managed to use a claw hammer to pry it off.
