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 |

QUOTE The two screws mentioned above are only on the four stud discs. 2 screws are on the 5 lug "rears" as well. There's also a couple blank holes that you can screw an M8 bolt into... this effectivly "pushes" the rotor off the hub (if we're talking rears). On the fronts you need to take the entire hub/rotor assembly off and remove the 5 bolts holding the rotor to the hub. And yes... this means getting the dust cap off. They're a pain in the ass sometimes. I think it's the steel/aluminum thing. Apply lots of heat and use the two screw driver pry-bar method shown in the manual. Get new bolts with washers and lock washers... 8.8 grade. |
