Z32 Front Rotor is Stuck!! Bolt hole removal size?

[ddgsxr504]

So as the title says my front Z32 rotors are stuck on the hub and it's time for a brake job. I want to go buy the bolts so as to utilize the holes on the rotor to pull it off the hub.

Does anyone know what size the bolt needs to be? I mean I can't get the rotor off so as to take it with me and check.

Thanks

Also before anyone mentions it I have already pb blasted the crap out of the thing and beat the piss out of it with a rubber mallet.

There should be two threaded holes on the rotor if you look carefully. I think a 12mm bolt fits there. Put two bolts and turn them slowly. It'll come out. These are the holes.

He already knows about the holes and their location...

Anyway, according to page BR-23 in the Z32 FSM they are M8x1.25. Have fun.

For future z32 needs.

Sorry. I didn't read it carefully. I just have a bunch of bolts out of 240, tried some and one of them worked.

Thank you!! I didn't think that would have been covered in the FSM.

Hold on before you buy that bolt! You need M10x1.25 bolts for the front holes.

The M8x1.25 bolts are for rear z32 rotors. Pissed me off so i just banged the rotor out with a mallet.

Here are the specs i found when shopping for rotors. The site is http://www.brakewarehouse.com/, they got a lot of spec pictures like this

Normally those screws require an impact screw driver.

$10 from sears.

??? Impact screwdriver?

[Clawhammer]

You just screw them in until they pop off..what impact?

Nice save hai!

[Bumnah]

Found here.

Or he can save $10 and just use the socket wrench he already has to drive the bolts in while he wacks it with the rubber mallet he already mentioned and pop off the rotor.

everyone loves tools. just another one to own.

[kouki munster]

I love tools just as much as the next guy, but why spend the money when you already have the tools to get the job done, unless they are on sale for a retared good price.

I even have one of thoes inpact screwdrivers, but have never needed it.

[Bumnah]

I love the rational. A $20 tool that makes life easier is a waste of money, but pouring money into a beat up late 80s Nissan is a sound investment.

[ddgsxr504]

I still don't see what I would use that thing for?

[Clawhammer]

Me either.

Well no, I know what an impact screwdriver is used for and there are a few practical applications but I am just unsure of how it applies to this current situation.

The bolts I bought were hex head m10x1.25. I can understand that on certain Hondas and such that the rotors are actually held on by phillips countersunk screws which would make this tool nice to have if the screws were siezed but on an S-chassis?
