February 9, 200818 yr What I'm looking for is the bolt threads for taking off the brake disc/drums 7x1 7x1.5? hole measures 6.8 with my caliper so it's 7 major dia.
February 9, 200818 yr Author yes, I see the FAQ thread - not there (it's a bolt size question I posted separately)
February 9, 200818 yr What model? Year? As far a I know, Subaru does not use any M7 bolts. All the fasteners I've encountered are M5x1.0, M6x1.25, M8x1.25 or 1.5, M10x1.25 or 1.5, M11*x1.25, and M12x 1.5. *= Old EA82 engine cylinder head bolts. Never seen this size anywhere else
February 9, 200818 yr G, I believe he is asking for what some refer to as "jacking bolts" Thanks to porcupine 73 for the excellent picture
February 9, 200818 yr Author 97 Impreza (drum) 98 Forester (disc) I'm just going to have to drag the Forester hub down to the hardware and play "test the bolt" and then hope the Impreza has the same bolt hole (doing hub swap to avoid changing bearings) caliper measurement was 6.8 - guessed 7 but might be 8 after all (since 7 is rare, but you never know if they put proprietary things on some vehicles to make it difficult to do "ordinary" work) - depends on thread depth since the caliper measured the "minor" of the bolt, but I hoped someone would "know". Once I find out, I'll post it... somewhere
February 9, 200818 yr Author no access for 3 jaw on a ROTOR. use the 2 bolts - lots easier than doing the 3 jaw 8X1.25 use about 40mm long or so (fully threaded) anybody need some 98 Forester stuff - rotor, backing plate, e-brake, ABS pulse ring... it's junk to me (Impreza is DRUM)
February 9, 200818 yr Hello. If it's the OEM rotors/drums, it is M8. I always forget the thread spacing; it's whatever is 'standard' in that size. I believe it is 1.25mm or it might have been 1.5mm
February 9, 200818 yr Author factory Forester - 8X1.25 - I got it off - now to just pop the hub out of the housing... (press time, I have a 12 ton - just have to contend with the hub dia on the back inside of the housing - looks like a 1-1/16 socket will make it thru - it has to fit thru the bearing inner dia but contact the hub dia.) Dang, this is a lot of work (need icon for "wiping sweat from brow") just to save $50
February 9, 200818 yr Dang, this is a lot of work (need icon for "wiping sweat from brow") just to save $50 hahaha as my dad would say "yes but you have the pride of doing it yourself". He grew up during the depression.
February 9, 200818 yr hahaha as my dad would say "yes but you have the pride of doing it yourself". He grew up during the depression. or braking it yourself...
February 10, 200818 yr no access for 3 jaw on a ROTOR. use the 2 bolts - lots easier than doing the 3 jaw 8X1.25 use about 40mm long or so (fully threaded) anybody need some 98 Forester stuff - rotor, backing plate, e-brake, ABS pulse ring... it's junk to me (Impreza is DRUM) You need a bigger three jawed puller;) I also wonder why not swap to disc while you where at it??? You''re doing some serious work to maintain drums.
