Rotor Removal - HELP!!!

Hello,

Im just half way through doing a brake pad replacemnt and i want to get the rotors off to have machiened. I thought after removing the calipers i should be able to just slide them off...seems to be not the case...either that or im a bit of a pu$$y and cant pull them hard enough to get em off.

Any advice would be much apprecialted.

Thanks,

Josh

 

There is a bolt hole on the rotor hat...

screw a bolt into it and it will push the rotor off. :thumbsup:

 

Thanks,

Thanks heaps...ill go and see if i can find it and give it a go. In the mean time i have been able to get the other one off (it just slid off) this one might be a little stuck.

Thanks again

 

Hmm! they should just slide off, mine do!

 

Mine slid straight off with some gentle coaxing with a mallet.

 

mine were stuck on, really badly!! I got a 6 foot pry bar and levered them

off, then they weren't so stubborn

When i mean stuck on, the actual thread threaded when i screwed a bolt into it to get them off. This was fronts only, rears came off fine with the thread.

 

as mentioned by CANDU, i have a bolt from my "cresta"box of tricks

that worked a treat at our not so recent rotor/brake pad tech day ..:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
