what size bolts do you need to take off of the rotor if they are stuck?

 

dont need a any bolts just take a rubber mallet or a small 2x4 and bang the back of the rotor while turning it it will eventually pop off

 

aren't there small threaded holes on the rotor that you can screw bolts into and they'll push the rotor off? I don't know the size of these but maybe it'll get people who do know talkin in the right direction.

 

i think if you are getting a rotor puller the small thed holes should be all the same size for most all roters.. think they are standard on a rotor puller.. but i thought i needed one but i just banged the back of the rotor on one side then rotated the roter around and banged the other side and it poped off

Mine were on there tight.. original rotors never been changed.. didnt want to come off hit it with a peice of wood and a hammer and it came off


http://www.motorvate.ca/ the section about front rotor removal tells ya to hit it with a 2x4

 

Yea there are holes and all you have to do is thread a bold into them and the rotor pops right off, i had this problem, i have a big box of bolts and just got lucky and found a few, dont know what size though, try a few it will work

 

To avoid this from happening again one could smear a little anti-sieze on the inner part of the rotor, this would help with the dissimilar metals mating to one another due to the various heat cycles the rotor withstands coupled with the inclement weather.

 

That's a REALLY cool feature on those front rotors. It's great how they put those threaded holes in the rotors to make removal easy. The Maxima is the first car I've seen those on. Thumbs up to Nissan! I'm sure it's a metric coarse thread. Go to the parts store and buy a few metric bolts around that size, and you'll be good to go.

Good Luck!

 

Can someone please tell me what size bolt this is for the rotor removal? Thanks!

 

it is just easier to use rubber mallet or something to hit the back of the rotor rather than the bolt method. Trust us that have done it. I know that it is cool to use the bolts, but nobody knows the size and with the hammer method...one size fits all.

 

M10-1.25 is the correct bolt.

 

Oh dear God. A useful n00b. Do you realize that you are one of the first n00bs in a very long time that actually has something to contribute. Welcome to the org.

 

I agree, use the bolts. I tried to take my rotors off by banging till my hands hurt.

Went to nissan and bought the bolts for $1 and took them off in less then a min.

 

Sorry, I didn't realize I was supposed to say something stupid (and off subject) to mislead someone asking an intelligent question. Next time, I'll try much harder.

 

d_warner was paying you a compliment.

 

M10 : front rotors;
M8 : rear rotors

 

yeah, chopperman actually suggested something for me to do with the lug studs that I had a problem. He is cool....so far...ha ha
