im trying to move rear rotor to replace the wheel stud
i got the caliper off the rotor but
rotor wont come off....
what should i do?
i dont want to hammer it out..cause im gonna reuse the stock rotor again and dont want to mess it up with a hammer
help~?

 

there is a threaded whole in your rotor by the lug bolts where u can get a bolt in. u got to thread it in and tighten it. it will push the rotor off the hub with no damage done.

 

you just got to find a bolt that will fit that hole

 

on rear rotor?

 

you mean the two small threaded holes on the rotor? next to wheel stud?

 

yes, those.

It takes a 8m x 1.5 bolt I think.
If not it is a 8m x 1.25

thread them in and the rotors will come right off.
Make sure you have the parking brake OFF.

 

The parking break is keeping the rotors on. Just thread in the bolt and you will see. There are 6 holes in the rear rotors 5 for the wheel studs and one threaded hole for the extractor bolt. Any metric bolt 8m x 1 - 1 1/2"long with the correct thread pitch will work. It will bottom out and then back the rotor off.

 

damn tire shop with impact gun...

 

BTW the radiator support bolts will work. Just a little tidbit to help you out.

 

Yeh, they put my locking lugs on with an impact. Took 3 hours to get one off. They had to destroy it peice by peice. But they didn't even scratch my rim. I told they they would have to buy one cuz they put it on...

Good luck!

 

thanks

 

hmm I just installed the stud and tried to put everything back..and when i tried to tighten the axle nut, the whole thing turns together(hub assembly)....so i cant tighten the axle nut to 225 n*m
what should i do??

 

Put the car in gear? Put on the brakes?


Or there is the dumb way... stick a screwdriver in the rotor so it hits to caliper and stops the whole thing from turning.

I would get omeone to hold the brake on and trq it down.

 

hmm but i only jacked up the one side(rear) ..since it is awd , the whole hub assembly shoudlnt turn??
im worried if i damaged something..

 

It will turn separetly from the other side, that's what the differential does.
put it in gear and/or have someone stand on the brakes.
