Replacing Rotors (1 Viewer)

[Eric Winkworth]

Well I got some new factory rotors for the old BJ, the old ones wern't in tolerance not even close, my questin is how the heck do you get the hub out? I have hit all the studs out and took out the two bolts, she is rusted on I'm guessing, lol. Should I just smak it harder?

Did you pull the hub off so that the whole assembly slides off?

I took everything apart and I have the rotor/hub in the vise, I have taken all the studs out and the two bolts. what do I do next

I have it, it doesn't seem to help any at all.

BFH, hit it hard or if ya have a torch warm it up a tad and give it a knock with the hammer.

When reinstalling the new rotor, throw on a little never sieze.

good call on the heat, i'll give it a try

DO NOT HEAT THE HOUSING!!
it is a friction fit, work each side of the rotor a bit at a time and it will come right off.

It is a tolerance fit, heat the outer.
