I descided that today I was going to replace the rotor on my front drivers side so see if it would get rid of the evil noise that the car has had for year. So i get down to the rotor and It seems impossible to get that thing off.
![]() and i used a hammmer and some wood, i was pounding on it for an hour, and still no dice. Anyone got any tricks? I already put it all back on, i didnt find what looked to be a peace of sandpaper that was rubbing on the side of the rotor, but when i put it all back together it was still makin the noise ![]() ![]() Also i was wondering if i needed to replace my pads, they looked liek they still had a good quarter of an inch on em, there wagners that i got a year ago. -dave -------------------- 0111011001101001011100110111001101101001

On the Brake rotors themselves, there should be 2 random small holes in between the holes for the Studs. They are tapped so it looks like something should be screwed into them. Well, this is exactly what they were designed for. You will need to get 2 long bolts (about 2 to 3 inches maybe longer) that are the same thread as the hole on the rotors and screw them in, the will hit the spindle and therefore creating leverage against the rotor, and therefore the more you turn them it will slowly take them off. You should turn them evenly to take the rotor off evenly. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-99-TOYOT...sspagenameZWDVW
here in this picture you see the holes im talking about, This is an aftermarket rotor, and im not sure if your's is stock, but Im pretty sure stock rotors have them too. Let me know how that works out for you. |
