How do you remove that cap thingy in teh center. Thanks



Ali

 

I think you need a puller from teh auto parts, adjust it to fit and pull out, thats how it was on a 1999 Mitsu montero good luck!

 

Pry it off with a big screwdriver.

 

Prying it off would work but be sure to spray some PB Blaster in order to break through the rust so it will be much easier to remove.

 

Thanks for the quick replies. So is it clamp on inside or what. How is it holding on.

edit - nevermind i miss read the post, i thought you wanted to remove the rotor

 

i did that. ive been using a 8*1.25 bolt it worked fine in the front but not in the back. I read that you need to take the cap off and remove a nut.

what car is that on??? i know thats not an integra...the spindel nut that threads on to the axle is exposed on a teg

 

Thats my 98ls

thats the rear. just use a hammer and tap the rotor all over to get it loosen

 

if you can get a tiny flathead screw driver and try to hammer it into the wedge, otherwise you can get some pliers or vice grips around it and turn/pull till it comes out, its a pain in the *** but you can do it. Some of that PB blaster i think is what it's called would help, you normally use it on exhaust nuts/bolts, its called like a liquid hammer or somethin.

 

ah never had the need to remove the reaR rotor

 

that center peice is attached to the rotor. once those 2 screws are out ur rotor should be free....get a mallte and pound that sucker out.

 

agreed with above

 

i dont remember having to take that off when i put on my brembo's (00LS)
Just need to take out the screw like you did and it should pull right off.

 

the center cap does not have to be removed to take off the rotor. however if you want to remove the cap, use a hammer and a small chisel. To remove the rotor soak the inner portion of the hat (around the center cap) with pb blaster. let it sit for a few minutes. now if you are replacing the rotors you can use a regular hammer to knock the rotors loose,if re-using rotors use a rubber mallet so you don't mangle the surface.

Yeah on the front end... it def looks like a honda.. and the rotor is not nearly big enough to be the front end of a teg or civic... so its a rear rotor for a teg

 

stick a flat head in the very tine creast and teap it off.. spray it down wiuth wd40 first... it aint as hard as it looks... good luck

 

that happened to me b4 and a chisel n hammer worked jus fine but like everyone else said you dont need to take the cap off if your just taking the rotors off
