OK I have done some brake work before, including removing rotors on other cars, just wondering if there is anything special with R34's that I should know about before I rip of the calipers and realise I need a special tool or something to remove the rotor. An impact drill should be all right?

If it's like the R32, the (front) rotor should basically fall off once the caliper is lifted out of the way.

Really? So there are no bolts holding it to the hub at all? How dodgy is that! Even my old Swift GTI had 2 "hard as" screws that needed a sledge hammer and an old school impact socket to get them off.

There are 5 wheel nuts holding the rotor against the hub.

yeah fair enough. I guess if the wheel comes off the rotor is the least of your worries!

the rotor can get stuck on the hub, so they've conveniently put a pair of threaded holes into the rotor so you can just screw bolts into them and it works like a puller.

All done Thanks for the help all. Piece of piss to swap, other than the hard as nuts that hold the caliper on. That took a bit of hammering to get them loose. -------------------- I recommend SMOOTH AUTOSTYLE PANEL (02 97468430), EAST COAST SUSPENSION (02 9545 1044), SIR MECHANIC (North Ryde 0410331452), Hunters Hill Window Tinting (North Ryde 0418464 185) |
