rear rotor question - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

Been a long while since I've tried getting the rear rotors off to replace the lug studs, it doesn't seem to want to come off. I can't remember if I need to remove anything other then the brakes to get it to come off. Sledge hammer technique not working. Anyone with a refresher idea please chime in.

Put a bolt through the threaded hole in the rotor and crank it thru. It will crack loose

the rotors that are on there don't have a threaded hole.

hmm, well there's always pb blaster, let it sit. Then heat it and hit it

ah yes, i forgot about pb blaster. I'm thinking that's my only option. My rotors are going to break if I keep wacking them with the sledge. Thanks.
