The Helms manual says to replace the spindle nut. Is it necessary? Please give me your input.

 

It doesn't need to come off when changing rotors.

Exactly... that doesn't make sence that it would recomend replacing it... Sure you read it correctly?

 

Ok now i feel dumb. Ok cut me some slack guys, I have never done it so this is my first time haha. So the 6 mm bolts are the only things holding the rotor in place? I am looking at pages 18-10 & 18-11 on the Helms manual. I just remove them & the rotor should come off? (of course it may be stuck so i need to use those 8x1.25 mm bolts to push it out right?) Thanks

do you have to remove the calipers if you want to replace your rotors?

 

yes you will have to take off the calipers

here's a good link for you

Take off the caliper and caliper bracket. Unscrew set screw. Hammer the **** out of the rotor if it's stuck. Reverse steps w/ new rotor.

-apply anti-seize everywhere.

those brake retaining screws can be a real pain to get out...i got an impact driver and it failed to do the job...i drilled them out, and was amazed how easy it was to use some needlenose pliars to get the threaded shaft of the screw out once the head was gone.

 

anybody got a pic of da?
