question on rotors

[justin'saccord]

i want to get drilled or slotted rotors for my 90 accord but i heard you have to get them pressed on is that true

[XcluziveAZN]

then




No need for press. Only thing that is pressed is Bearing and Hub together

Don't get Drilled rotor that will eat up all your brake. Only do that if you do alot of track. Slotted should be more than enough for street use

[justin'saccord]

thanks alot man but those 4 bolts u just shown me i cant get them off for shit lol i broke 2 of my sockets. And i dont have cheap sockets either so ....... what now i tried every type of lube? and even used a impact gun

[XcluziveAZN]

soak it with PB Blaster if it doesn't work. Drill from the back and Break the bolt. (that what i did. I striped the head with impact wrench and had no choice)


The bolt only screw onto the rotor not the hub once you break the thread on the rotor it should be free. You might have to get a pry bar and pry the rotor off.

What, you tossed them in the fire pit for a night around the campfire???

Only other way would be to heat them up red hot with an acetylene torch, let them cool, then hit them with the impact again. The heat expands them, then when they cool they basically break themselves loose from the threads. Some people say to hit them when they're red hot, but I disagree with that. Your chances of spinning the head off are better when it's still hot. I always let them cool down and have never had an issue.

Oh yea, Map gas torches from walmart won't work...

my torch was not hot enough. But since my rotor is broken (from an accident) and one of the head is rounded. My uncle and I decided to drill it and chisel the shit out of it.
