well, i bought my rotors, and pads for the rear brakes and today was the first chance i had to get to them.
got the caliper off, got the pads out. but then... couldn't seem to get the rotor off of the wheel studs! i had some honda friends help me out. i guess the rotor has two screw holes you need to use to take off the rotor? we got the rotor nearly off the studs, but it looked like something was holding it on there. it looks like a "drum in hat" type system. im just wondering how to get it off without having to pry at it. i've done brakes on my mustang and my familys minivan and some other fords. thats about it. never had to mess with a "drum in hat" style. anyway, are the 96' celica gt rear brakes "drum in hat" style? and also.. are anyone else's calipers made by mitsubishi? (found that kinda funny too lol) |

i did the same thing... But i actualy got the rotor off and halfway back on till i thought about it
 but with the parking break down, it should slide right off... and if it is down, then you may have a problem back there...
