howdy folks,

i was goin to change my brake rotors today. so i pulled the wheel off and removed th caliper, but to my surprise the rotor wouldnt come off! i checked all around for a screw or bolt that was holding it on but couldnt find one. with all the other cars ive done the rotors usually just fall off when u take off the caliper. but this 1 is stuck tight. i tried levering on it with a jimmy bar and even hitting it with a hammer and it wont budge. any suggestions??

FYI: ser2 stagea, stock brakes

There should be a couple of threaded holes that take a 6mm bolt (10mm head) that you use to push the rotor hat away from the hub. Also, try a bit of WD40 or similar around the hub centre to free up the rotor.

thanks guys. ive already tried some wd40 and hitting it from every angle i could get a swing at it, but no luck. unfortunately it doesnt have the 2 threaded holes to push the rotor off. the new 1s do, but sadly that wont help me till next time

assuming it is front (rears generally have the thread to pull it off the handbrake drums), it is likely just light surface rust sticking the caliper to the hub.

so, as said above bashing with a rubber mallet or similar will do it sooner or later. hit the face of the disc with medium hit around the outside and it will come free.

yes it was a front 1. rubber mallets and regular hammers didnt budge it. the solution came in the form of a 6lb dead blow hammer. even that took a few big swings. needless to say the rotor is a little deformed! lol glad i got some new 1s

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.

      So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
