Gene J Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 On a 98 Legacy GT? Or do I need to remove the bolts for the axles too? I seem to remember the rotors just pulled off last time. No amount of PB Blaster or rubber mallet seems to do the trick.... There are no screw holes to push the disk off like on other Japanese autos.

Reveeen Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 Front, or rear? Even the el-cheapo Chinese rotors I bought last week had bolt holes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nipper Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 There should be bolt holes in the rotors to aid in removal. Most the time i have had one fall off and the other needing minor encouragement. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 No do not remove the axle nut to get the rotors off. Of course the caliper bracket does have to be removed. Yes sometimes they come right off and sometimes they're rough. I had some on the front of my '00obw without the 8mm holes and it took a fair amount of sledge hammering, torch heating, etc., to get them off. If you aren't planning to reuse the rotors, you can get busy on them with a sledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamal Posted October 20, 2007 Share Posted October 20, 2007 when you put the new ones on clean off the hub as best you can with a metal brush or something and dab a little grease/anti-seize on the mounting surfaces (ps don't get it on the lugs).
