Anybody wish to school me on the secret to seperating/splitting the hub and rotor from a mini-truck? We've gotten the 6 lug studs pressed (hammered) loose. But there appear to be two smaller (maybe 7.5 mm) bolts that appear to be round headed also attaching the hub to the rotor. What be the best way to get these out and is there anything else that will need to be done to pull them apart. My rig came already converted and the high schooler who's project this is is getting frustrated with my rookie wrenching and lack of applicable experience in this conversion. Something about a 15 year old having zero patience. Thanks

Well,
The bolts that you talk about, SHOULD NOT be of a round head, if they are still stock, unless someone tried to remove them previously, and jacked them. They should be a 14mm head fastener, and come right out with a ratchet and socket. If they are rounded, you most likely will need to have the heads drilled off, so that you can get the rotor off, and then work at getting the remaining part of the bolt out after.

Now, with that said, they have some sort of socket that grabs rounded heads of bolts and might be the ticket for this....
As far as the 15 year old....tell him to clean something.
Good luck!

Yeah, the bolts on the backside just come out (I usually just use my impact and a deep socket) and you bang the old rusted rotor off the hub.

Sounds like it's time for the blue-tipped wrench.
