Want to get them resurfaced, but they wont budge.

 

Penetrating oil around the hat (lugnut holes, spray behind it) and give it a couple hours, then pound it hard with a rubber mallet. Don't strike it with metal. A wood block with a big hammer might work.

Be sure to rotate the spindle after every few strikes so you strike it all around, not just in one place.

 

I never resurface rotors, just get new ones. Blackbird loves the cheap **** NAPA ones. They will prob cost you less than re-surfacing them.

To get them off you will have to use some force, take a hammer and pound them off, who cares becuase you will be getting ones anyway.

 

just bang on the edges with a rubber hammer, they will get loose, even easyer is find the threaded screw hole on the rotor by where the studs are, and screw a matching screw into it,i think thats why they are there for.

but i would just get new brembo blanks

 

My 91 Maxima had the hole for the screw, but this one doesn't. I'll try the hammer.

Thanks for all the info. Sprayed some WD40 around the central hub and a couple of wacks with the hammer and they came right off. Got them resurfaced and now no more vibrations.

 

great. wd40 and rubber mallet worked 4 me.

 

o, and a 6 pack :-)

 

you can do this...: or or : don't waste your money with the resurfacing the rotors.. they won't last.....

 

I bought Brembo blanks a while back and installed them w/ new pads and had judder problems again after a few months. Took the car in to a shop and the tech told me that even new, off-the-shelf rotors should be turned while on the car...no more problems with brake judder after a year+ (surfaced Brembo blanks and stock pads)



any truth to this, or have I just been lucky so far...?
