So my brakes have been vibrating lately so I finally decided to go get my rotors turned everything else was cake, but when I got to the rotor I couldn't get it out....it's stuck to the hub. keep in mind I replaced the brakes not too long ago (maybe 9 months) Anyone have the same experience and know a trick that will get them out WITHOUT damaging the rotors? Your responses are appreciated.

if you look at the rotor, you will see that there are at least 4 extra holes, besides the 4 or 5 used by the lugs.

2 of the screws are for the rotor hold screws that keep the rotor centered and on the hub. assuming you have removed these two...

there are 2 other holes on the rotor that are threaded. the purpose of these was exactly for your situation - to get off stuck rotors with ease.

i dont know the exact screw thread/pitch size (sorry), but you're supposed to turn the screw into these holes, and it pushes against the hub, forcing the rotor to come off.

go to your local honda dealer and ask for the screw. my dealer didnt even charge me for it.

good luck.

Thread in two bolts into the threaded holes in the rotor, and press the rotor off the hub by tightening the bolts with a ratchet. Alternate to press the rotor off evenly.

I would just hammer them off and buy new rotors. Brembo blanks are like 30 bucks a peice. I'm sure you could buy some autozone ones for like 20 bucks.

why spend money if you dont have to though, unless they're warped. The bolt trick will pull them right off

It should be 8x1.25 Make sure you run the bolts in somewhat evenly or you'll put the rotor into a bind on the studs.

Actually they are warped I took them off for that exact reason....they're being turned as we speak...or type. Whatever. Anywho thanks for the help I bought these two bolts for .93 cents and the came off right away. I always wondered what those two extra holes on the rotor were for.....
