Alright posting this in here since theres more traffic.

Anyone got any tips to take off the front rotors?

I took off the caliper and put in the bolts on the rotors, but they won't budge at all...

Someone be my savior...

TIA

 

Hey Al.

Rubber mallet? or as Roo says BFH (Big F***ing Hammer).

I'll PM you my number, and if you need help, I can come by if I am not busy.

 

take off the calipers/caliper brackets, the rotors should come off pretty easily.

if not, use a rubber mallet like dark onion said.

Shouldnt be to hard at all

 

rubber mallet definately!!!!

but if thats not workin try some of that bolt losener stuff!

8mm screw/bolt thingy in the two holes in between the wheel studs. Check linky above.

 

sweet i got it now i have new pads on the caliper and they don't go over the rotor how do i "open" it to clear it.

 

You'll need a small c-clamp to disengage (push in) the caliper piston.

You'll need to compress/depress the pistons. Not sure how to do that, but I think you wedge something in there and yeah...

I am free right now if you need help. Give me a call and I can come by and help... even though you are in downtown SJ.

 

See below...

 

Yeah. What Karl said.

 

Need one? I got one somewhere in the garage... I gotta hunt for it though!

 

=\ i'll look for one...

 

I'll go look for mine now and check back if/when I find it.

 

i found one its sorta working but hard to position it on the front calipers.
