Subieguy Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 I am trying to pull the front rotors off my 98 Forester. I need to know the size of the nut that is bolted on to the CV axle so I can go buy the right size. Anybody know? Thanks, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairtax4me Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 That's the axle nut, you don't need to even think about touching that to get the rotors off. Remove the brake caliper, then remove the bracket by removing the two large bolts that hold it to the back of the knuckle. Not suer if these have hold screws on eh rotors or not, but if it has them there will be one or two #3 phillips head screws that need to be removed, then give a good whack on the back side of the rotor with a big hammer a few times. Give the rotor a spin 180 degrees and repeat if it doesn't pop loose on the first try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 32mm but like he said it doesn't hold the rotors on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subieguy Posted May 25, 2010 Author Share Posted May 25, 2010 Yeah I figured that out. So used to working on EA cars. You have to do that to get the rotors off. My Bad:o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
