timmay217 Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 i got the front ones off easy but the rears won't budge......is there a screw somewhere? cause i don't see a wheel bearing in the middle of it .....=/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropspace Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 sometimes they get seized up on the hub. if you aren't planning on keeping them and are replacing with new, just whack them with a 10lb sledge and they will usually break free. i had to smack the sense out of mine to get them off my 92...

timmay217 Posted August 16, 2004 Author Share Posted August 16, 2004 so they should just come off just like the front? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropspace Posted August 16, 2004 Share Posted August 16, 2004 yes, there is nothing else holding them on. if they are the original rotors, there is usually quite a bit of corossion on the hub and rotor that seals them up pretty good. you just have to apply enough force to break this seal. putting anti-seize compound on the new ones is a good idea. i had a ford expedition that i actually had to hacksaw the old rotors off the hub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKperformance Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 sledge hammer? sure if you want to replace the abs sensor the hub is seized to the rotor hat to remove tehm read my post in the workshop tutorials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dropspace Posted August 17, 2004 Share Posted August 17, 2004 didn't affect my abs sensor at all..you just need to hit it enough to break the seal on the hub. not a full force hit... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKperformance Posted August 18, 2004 Share Posted August 18, 2004 sledge hammer,visegrips are all last resort tools lexus makes an easier way to remove a seized rotor. Just be glad you didn;t get an abs code after Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
