Anyone chenged their own rotors?

how do you removee the rotors? is there a nut in the center, or does it come off when you take the caliper off?

TIA

oh yea what size socket will i need if so?

[noahrexion]

14mm i think, maybe a 17mm to, its been a long time for me. Just take the wheel off, take off the caliper and slip the rotor off the wheel studs. Takes 3 mins...

The rotor is held to the hub by 2 phillips screws. You'll need an impact screwdriver to get them off. Do a search, there was a thread not too long ago showing how to change rotors.

you don't actually need an impact. If you have a large hammer and a flat tipped punch you can break the screws loose. They will be frozen in there if the car is more than a year or two old... So don't just try to turn the screws with only a screwdriver.
Put the flat part of the punch against the screw and whack the sh!t out of it.
This trick will work for allen head screws that are stuck too. The impact causes whatever is stuck to come loose.
Although an impact screwdriver is professional way to do it.

sweet, so there is no center nut holding it onto the hub?

[dubcac]

No, that nut is to hold the axle to the hub.

thanks guys, they were easy to replace, the screws didnt put up a fight, so it was smooth. thanks!

[coolguytoo]

those screw are to help you in removal, take the screw out and put then in the other holes and screw them in, the pressure with pop the rotors right off. I had a hard time with mine and i did this and they poped right off, piece of cake!

I wouldnt put those screws back in, theyre useless. If they didnt give you a problem now they will in the future, sometime, somewhere.

Mine sure were a pain to remove, but I put anti sieze on them before reinstalling because I am not as stupid as I look
