In the next few days I'm going to be changing my rotors with the help of XHondaTech. Can anyone tell me the size of the bolts I need to get so I can beat those faulkers off?

The bolts I'm talkin about can be seen here. It's #22 in the illustration. The size is 10mm X 40mm but what is the thread? 1.25 or 1.50???

Thanks!

 

why do you need to break the bolts to get the rotors off?

they are bitch, you'll need a slide hammer, but you shouldn't be breaking anything.

 

I won't be breaking anything. You take out the stock bolts and thread in longer bolts, then beat on the longer bolts and wha-la, the rotor will pop off.

No slide hammer... just an air chisel and 3 lbs sledge.

 

12mm x 1.5

 

no, 10mm x 60mm+, 1.25 thread ... just finished it a few hours ago...

 

What a rusty bugger that thing was. It all worked out fine. He took some pics while we were replacing the rotors, if he ever gets around to posting them.

 

Here are some pics of the job we did on it. All worked out fine.

 

How did you guys undent the axle nut, a.k.a. spindle nut? Is there a special key from Honda? I'm trying to change the front rotors for my brother and gf's accords. Please help!!!

 

Impact wrench took it right off. Otherwise I'd use a real small flat screw driver and a hammer and try to pound it out. We used a small screwdriver to pound the dent back in when we were putting stuff back together... ahhh... I mean when XHondaTech was putting stuff back together :thumbup:

 

screwdriver or stake should work, depending on how deep it was staked in.

which bolts are those bent up ones? man, thats crazy. I need an impact gun, i cant take apart the 4 bolts from the hub to the rotor with hand tools.
