pfeener Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 I'm a little confused; are you trying to remove the 36mm axle nut. If not I can't figure out what you would be using a breaker bar and a large socket for. Are you trying to take off the wheels or the caliper mounting bracket?The rotors come off relatively easily: remove the wheel, brake caliper, caliper mounting bracket and the alignment stud on the face of the rotor and most rotors will come off with a few slight "love" taps with a mallet.

erikv11 Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 plus onethe only thing holding a rotor on is the caliper and that little studBay 13 is very clear about thissounds like what you are doing wrong is, trying to remove your axles to replace your rotors.

97Rwagon Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 The bracket and caliper should be off. Do not touch the center piece with the pin. After that, it should pull right off, if not, knock it off with a hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schwein Posted September 20, 2006 Report Share Posted September 20, 2006 heres the deal, get the rotor pin off that holds the rotor on the hub (Not the Axle Nut the small pin that lines up with your wheels) take off the caliper (obviously) if it doesn’t fall right off your going to have to find your buddie who doubles as an H addict and have him crawl under your car with a sledge hammer or similar blunt object and have him hammer that little rusted sucker off. it took a solid 20 30 throws from my H buddie before mine fell off (the fronts a least) the rears came right off. the shocks work by the way, hope they last! don’t forget the anti squeal goop to!!Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
