Default brake problem...rotor wobbling VIDEO INSIDE

http://img531.imageshack.us/my...1.flv

that is a video of whats happening. it a integra spindle with a brand new wheel bearing, arp extended lug studs "reman" calipers, brand new LBJ, brand new pads, and brand new brembo rotors.... i see where the rotor is messed up, but if u look u can see that the rotor is actually wobbling. what would cause that?

When i drive the wheel wobbles like its about to fall off. Then when it hits that spot in the rotor, the brakes lock up....

any ideas?

neither screws are. the screws had to be drilled out and it would have been hell getting them to thread out. but in that video there are two lug nuts threaded all the way in to keep the rotor in place. and when the wheel is on, the wheel is pressing against the rotor. are those screws absolutely required? because the other side doesn't have them either and it doesn't have the problem.

when ever u drilled them out is it nice and smooth cause the rotor might not be seating all the way just make sure there isnt anymore of the screw stickin out and hittin the back side of the rotor makin it to be wobbling

Those screws are not needed and were just used during the assembly process of the car.

The hubs not in all the way im assuming. Is the axle nut on tight? It should seat the hub. If its not in all the way, this could be causing the hub to wobble. was the bearing pressed in all the way and clip installed?

well part of the screw is sticking out, but its in the hole that the screw would normally go into...the rotor seems to be seated against the hub fine.

i wanna see if either the axle is bent or the hub is bent. the hub and axle came from a salvage yard.

If you think you can press it out without one piece going with the hub and one with the spindle lol
you have to press from the back of the spindle, some of the bearing will be on the hub bust out the vice secure a deep socket, heat up the bearing with a torch while the socket is inside and spin by holding the stud. if you're lucky the rest of the bearing will fall off the hub. I'm just about to do it for the 3rd time on my pass front 96 teg (try to warranty the bearing)http://images.ibsrv.net/ibsrv/res/sr...ies/hammer.gif
