97 Rear brake rotor removal

[Cekkent]

Hi,

I'm new here. Mostly been lurking and absorbing the information. I've got a probably somewhat simple question:

Are the rear rotors on a 97 Y33 integral-hub or do they just sit on the hub? I replaced the rear brake pads a couple weeks ago and that got rid of most of my wobble-while-braking. While I was performing that job, I tugged on the rotors to see how they were affixed, and they didn't go anywhere. Was unsure if the rotors were physically attached to something or just corroded in place.

I looked at the 1998's service manual at http://www.nicoclub.com/FSM/Q45/ (the 1997 is missing most of the sections) and didn't really get a definite answer.

Anyone? Thanks!

They are probably just corroded on, they just sit on the hub, its not an integral hub like many trucks use...

IF you notice theres a small threaded hole on opposite sides of the face of the rotor, you cna pick up a bolt that has a 12mm head on it (any 12mm headed bolt off the car will work) and it will thread in and push the rotor away form the hub.

Be sure to release the emergency brake shoes.
