Easy way to remove rotors

The rotors have 2 M10x1.25 holes tapped into them. Just get 2 40mm long M10x1.25 bolts and screw them in, alternating between them until the rotor pops free. I checked Haynes and Nissan FSM to find out what size the bolts were with no luck. Took rotor to parts store (Pep Boys) and solved the problem.

I have heard that nearly all Nissan bolts are of the same 1.25 thread pitch.

Re: Easy way to remove rotors

However, please keep in mind that the size for the rear and the fronts are different.

I have the bolt for the front, but I don't have it for the rear. Is this for the rear or the front?

M10's are the fronts.
