I'm tryig to pull my rotors so I can turn them but they won't come off. I've searched the forum and I seem to be having the opposite problem of everyone else. I pulled the wheels and calipers off and the 2 screws holding the rotor in place came out easily with a screw driver. The problem is that the rotors are stuck to the hubs on all 4 wheels. Did I miss a step that I'm just not seeing? I've tried beating on them with a 3lb sledge using wd40 an kroil but still nothing. There are also 2 other holes for pushing a bolt through to push the rotor off but I don't know what size they are an I don't have a rotor to take to the hardware store to figure it out. Does anyone know what size they are?

 

Keep hitting them with a hammer, they will come off.

 

Someone also posted a powerpoint type thing about turning rotors and how they can decrease braking unless they are turned slowly and sanded flat

 

There are two threaded holes in the rotor, between the tapered holes that you removed the Phillips screws from.

Get a pair of M8 x 1.25 bolts at any auto parts store, hardware store, maybe even Lowe's or Home Depot. Thread one into each threaded hole. Turn them a little bit, alternating between the two to keep the force they exert even. They'll push against the hub and remove the rotor.

 

Sorry, I didn't read the original post carefully enough.

The holes have M8 x 1.25 threads. If the bolts you buy are DIN (Euro and American) they'll have a 13mm hex head. If they're JIS (Asian) the head will be 12mm.

 

I've been re-looking for that for a LONG time.

 

Thanks for the info redy2ks2k and thanks for the heads up Allen, I will make sure to turn them slowly and sand them flat. Normally I wouldn't turn the rotors but the back side of the front rotors are a little worn and it gets pretty shaky when braking at 50mph+. This will be the first time they have been turned and I don't think I will have to go to deep into them.

 

when SMACKING them with a sledge hammer, hit the top HARD, hit the bottom next, HARD, hit the top left HARD, bottom right, HARD. enjoy

 

then go buy new rotors because you just bent/warped/divoted the thing by wacking it with a hammer.

 

Yes! And hit the thing hard from an angle with a rubber mallet. Ignore the other posts..
