brake rotors

[flames5351]

ok this might sound like a dumb question. But how are the brake rotors removed exactly? I did do a search... are they pressed on? I already tried to remove them and they didn't just come off like I expected. just a simple puller maybe... Any help would be greatly appreciated... I need to put my new brakes on bad lol

if youve got the caliper off and everything it should just slide right off...

[flames5351]

ok i thought that too... but when i took off my caliper the rotor would not budge.... i have a 95 se with abs if that makes a difference..

[nismofly]

it may, ive got an 89 without abs, id be willing to bet the abs is the difference...mine literally slide right off when ive got the caliper off, and other s13's ive worked on are the same way

never worked on either a 13 or 14 with abs though, so i couldnt say

It's likely it's just siezed on. Take a hard rubber mallet and hit the edges of the rotor and try to break it free. There is usually also a threaded hole on the hat section. Find a matching bolt and thread it in using a wrench. It should lift the rotor away from the hub.

Its most likely just stuck from years of corosion and brake dust. Like they said, use the hammer.

Hmmm.... Do you see 2 extra holes on the rotor rather than holes for the wheel studs? Those holes are threaded, so put some bolts and they'll push rotors out from the hub. They are there for this kind of sticky situation. Let's be gentle to our precious 240s, guys.
