Heytiggr Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 There are two holes in the front of the rotor, made for exactly this... just thread a couple bolts into thoose holes (and I am at work so I can't remember the exact size but they are simple, got them at Home Depot bolts) then just screw them in, using your ratchet. Go back and forth so uyou are applying pressure evenly and the rotor will eventually simply pop free. No damage, no warping, no messing up the swept surface...exactly as intended....

Max Capacity Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 Can't view the video at work. You spray the hub with PB Blaster, Spray the two bolt holes with PB Blaster, Apply anti-seize compound to the threads on two 8mmX1.25 bolts like the ones that hold the support bracket for the tmic. Thread the bolts into the holes, you may have to go in/out a few times to clean the threads but they will thread in and back the rotor off the hub. What's so hard about that... At least there not like Honda, that uses counter sunk screws to hold the rotors on. I just drill the heads off the screws and leave them out. Next time the rotors come right off. 305,600miles 5/2012 ej257 short block, 8/2011 installed VF52 turbo, @20.8psi, 280whp, 300ftlbs. (SOLD). CHECK your oil, these cars use it.

It depends on which vehicle you have, and it's good to have alternative solutions at hand if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoplightAssassin Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 This is how I got the rotors off my M3 a few months ago which doesn't have the "helper holes". FYI the bolts for the upper radiator support are the thread size you need to get LGT rotors off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumaMax Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 Cool thing to know but I have never had a problem getting rotors off of a car. I just use my 3ft sledge hammer and a block of wood. Distance traveled+ force= success everytime! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
