front rotors replacement

MARCPOSADA · Mar 30th, 2006, 09:49 PM

anyone has any idea if the rotors are pressed or can I just removed them with out the help of a shop personel and tools.

I need to changed them yesterday, but want to make sure I can do it with regular person garage tools

The brake rotors aren't pressed in but over time they can get seized onto the hubs pretty tightly. If you find that the brake rotors aren't sliding off, give them a few whacks with a rubber hammer or heat them up with a torch to loosen them.

I did the hammer thing....but mine was a metal hammer.... luckily I didn't need my old rotors anymore. Nice new slotted rotors! But yes they get quite tight on the hubs.
