stupid rotor, stupid axle

Featured Replies

well, i was changing the front brakes, got the new pads in the calipers fine, got old rotor off fine. now im at the point where im putting the rotor back on and it wont completely go onto the axle, I have about 1/4" or so of play where I can pull and push the axle inside the hub. Ive tried to tighten the axle nut down with the brakes locked and it still wont seat completely. have taken the whole axle and hub out of the car to see if I can beat it on there, and still have play. Im using the original lug section that was on the old rotor and have put it on the new rotor. ...

 

my question is how do I get it to seat all the way and get rid of that 1/4" of play???

Find out what it's hanging up on and fix it.... really can't help you beyond that. Did you booger up the splines or something?

 

Beating on it isn't going to help - you'll just spall the bearings. It should slide home real easy.
