What would it hurt if I left out the retaining screw on the brake disc? You know the pain in the ass one that keeps it from being easy to remove the disc from the hub. The brakes on our suburban dont have it and I can get the disc off in no time. Its the year they made bad rear brakes and I have redone them 4 times in 60000 miles and GM says there is nothing wrong (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/flipa.gif) Im thinking of the aftermarket brake conversion but with gas going up the Suburban may go away.

I can't see why not. The wheel holds the rotor tightly to the hub... My Dakota had some push-on washers that held the rotor on during the assembly line... You rip them off on the first rotor swap (about 17,000 miles or so) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/wink.gif)
Americans and brakes. Grr... Later, Tom |

lots of people leave them off.
i think they're used to keep them in place on the assembly line and to reduce the chance that a tire-changer will somehow get a disk cocked. but we're all to careful for that, right? i left mine off... |
