philip Posted April 12, 2007 Report Posted April 12, 2007 it might be kinda hard with that rust but it will come out. just put down 2x4's to support the rotor, get a punch and a big hammer and go to town. you'll be done before you know it Quote
philip Posted April 12, 2007 Report Posted April 12, 2007 btw if you guys have any car a/c probs let me know. i've been doing that for a little over ten years...... just down to help that's all. Quote
bibby>Chode Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Posted April 12, 2007 Also, when i tried to unscrew the screws with my drill, the philips head tried to strip, so i stopped. Quote
zaxfire69 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Posted April 12, 2007 Also when you take the 2 Phillips head screws off sometimes the rotor dosen't want to come loose from the hub...There are two holes there..(not the ones that your Phillips Head screws came out of) The other 2...thread a bolt that will fit the threads and alternate tighting each one until the rotor free's...Alternate tighting I mean tighten one a little bit, then tighten the other a little bit...then on and on untill the rotor frees.. Wd 40, lube...Helps///try not to get on the rotor though...Wd 40 and brake pads don't mix... Quote

zaxfire69 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Posted April 12, 2007 (edited) You need an impact driver...don't strip the screws...Hold on I will show you a picture of an impact driver.... You can get an impact driver for cheap at like any auto parts store...Also you can rent one at like autozone. Edited April 12, 2007 by zaxfire69 Quote

bibby>Chode Posted April 12, 2007 Author Report Posted April 12, 2007 OK, i'll get them impact driver. That is crazy that them 2 screws is all that is holding my damn wheel on. Quote
ChevyBoy Posted April 12, 2007 Report Posted April 12, 2007 get some pb blaster too bibby. works wonders. Quote
zaxfire69 Posted April 12, 2007 Report Posted April 12, 2007 Thats funny about the brake cleaner... Yea..You do need an impact driver though...Just be careful not to strip them. Well the 2 screws hold your rotor on..I said that to but those 2 screws are a pain to get out..Unless you have the impact...Just work at it and let me know how everything is going...It has been at least 2 years since I have had my hubs off so I am a little rusty...
