kevhead Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 I'm having a heck of a time getting the rotors off. I see that there is a single threaded hole in the rotor. How hard can you beat the thing it is stuck. I had the caliper off and removed the hub nut. Would a torch help or is there a emergency brake inside the hub cavity?:-\ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 you can thread a bolt into that hole to pop it off. I think it's M10x1.25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaruLegacy2003 Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 Dis-engage the emergency brake? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Setright Posted November 23, 2005 Share Posted November 23, 2005 WAIT! As suggested above, you need to back of the e-brake. There's an access hole in the backing plate. Small flat blade screwdriver, lots of light in there, and then you should be able to see and turn the adjuster so the brake shoes back off. Yes, the e-brake is an internal drum setup.
