How to remove front rotors on '95 Legacy

Featured Replies

Sorry, make that an '05 Legacy. Typo

 

This is my wife's car and first I have worked on it.

 

I see the two threaded holes on the rotor car--so I assume that means I thread a bolt through there to pull the rotors off the hub?

If the rotors have never been removed, there should be 2 Phillips screws. Remove them and the rotor should almost fall off.

Again, sorry for typo, but it is an '05 Legacy.

 

there is no Phillips screw. It looks like a threaded hole for a bolt to push the rotor off the hub. I'm looking for the bolt size.

Typically they are an 8-mm bolt and you would need 2.

Try a couple smacks with a hammer from the backside after you have the caliper bracket off. Sometimes the rust can hold them in place a bit. If you have new rotors to go on, feel free to get agressive. Or you could use the 2 bolts to push it off, your choice.

you can edit the title if you want, click on edit in your firt post then go advanced.

Yep, M8 bolts will help to push off a disc. I assume you know that the caliper support bracket has to come off too :)
