InvaderTrax

They've been on there about 6 months, but my caliper seized up last night, so now I've got to pull them off and turn them. There's nothing holding them on harware wise, they're just stuck. I've tried a rubber mallet and two large hammers and nothing. There's no ring around the hub so I don't know why it won't budge. Anyone know what size those two bolt holes are in the hub (even though they're rusted out anywy)

what car?

my rotors were stuck on my integra and i used the 2 spare thread holes on the rotor to push the rotor off the hub.

the front of course

'92 Prelude. Any idea what size bolt you used?

this is the right course of action.

i dont know what size off the top of my head to use. its either a 10mm head or smaller. find something similar on the car to "borrow".

or just take a rubber/plastic mallet and bang the rotor out. just be aware harsh vibrations like that are not good on your bearings.

impact those screws into the hub from the rotor, i think thats what they're there for

No, I had the EXACT same problem a couple of months ago when changing the rotors on my Teg. I had already removed both screws that hold it in and it still wouldn't budge; get a big hammer, I had a 2' sledge hammer, swing it, make sure you know how to use the hammer, and hit the top most part of the rotor.

It will pop out.

great way to bust your wheel bearing too.

meh.... I dunno, mines are fine, you just have to hit it right.

just wack the **** out of it with a rubber mallet

If you have to use a hammer to get your rotors or drums off, you don't know what your doing...

Speed94

thats what I did...3 whacks and it came off

improper use of mallet

you don't have to try it, I'm just saying, thats how I did it and it worked fine, my bearings are good and my rotor came off.

ive done it that way, as well as use the rotor retaining screws in the other 2 holes.

Tyson

just be careful when you use a heavy hammer on the rotors people.

the proper way is to use the threaded holes. thats why they are there.
