swaping brake rotors
 

im in the middle of swaping my stock rotors for some slotted brembo rotors and have reached a problem, i think. after removing the brake caliper and the pad holder (i guess thats what u would call them) i removed the 2 screws that are in the middle of the rotor. as far as i know, my guess is those hold the rotor to the hub. now im trying to get the rotor off the car and i cant. what is left to do to get it off or do i just gotta work with the rotor to get it off. any suggestions would be great. thanks

Most likely, it's rusted to the hub. This means you have two options: https://honda-tech.com/forums/images...es/emsmile.gif

1. Use a large hammer and start beating on the old rotor. Not recommended, and it's really noisy.

2. There should be a threaded hole drilled into the brake rotor's hat. I'm not sure what the thread pitch is (I want to say 10 x 1.50 - but don't quote me on that), but you should be able to screw a bolt down into that hole, and it will pop the rotor right off the hub.

Just use a big hammer and slam the back of the rotor to getthe rotor off

I think it's 10x1.25 at max. 1.5 is pretty course. Just grab one of the bolts that hold the brake line to the knuckle right behind the rotor and try those. I think those fit.

Spray the crap out of it it with some PB blaster first and let it soak for like 2 minutes. Make sure your new pads & rotors aren't anywhere near it when you do that.

You removed the caliper and caliper mount? The rotor should be loose after the screws are removed, beat it out, hehe.

Hint of advice: Dont reinstall the small screws so a future rotor replacement isnt a pain, the caliper will hold the rotor in place.......

I had to shake mine pretty good for them to come off... just hit them with a rubber mallot front and back, top and bottom and they'll wiggle off.
