Any tips on this?

 

I used my bicuspids

 

which BBK?

 

Im guessing the 300zx caliper+13" cobra rotors one. I cut them off with a sawzall. it worked. you could hammer the **** out of them if you wanted too... seen that too.

 

I used pliers and just bent the shield flat

 

3-gens invert back so it's alot less trouble. But I used a grinder w/ a cut off wheel. You could also slice slots in there and bend it like beckem

 

one unbolted, the other just kinda rusted/bent off. that and a dremel halped a bit too.

 

they are bolted on?

 

i made a cut/slit where there is an opening in the shield and then banged the shield up and down to enlarge the cut/slit until it was big enough to slide off of the hub

 

opps double post

 

One I cut off with tin snips... talk about annoying. Not at all easy and my hands hurt pretty badly afterwards. The other I zipped off with an air chisel the next day at the shop, took all of about 2 minutes that time.

 

cut into them, bent them back and completely off. good luck

 

Slid them off when I had the hub off. Pretty easy that way. LOL.

 

so you aren't running any at all?

 

Not the stock ones, they wouldn't clear the AP rotors.... the clearance is too tight.

 

didnt have to do anything to them

 

i didn't have to cut mine either...

 

I just removed my second set the other day. I removed the first set from my black NA car back years ago as stated. this time, I just took off the rotor, and pried a littled bit with a pry bar and screwdriver to deform the metal a little bit, then banged around with a hammer back towards my body, a little banging here and a little prying there and I had them knocked loose. Couple minutes at most. Then it was just a matter of cutting the thinnest part of the metal with tin snips which is easy, then using pliers or channel locks to bend the metal around to get it off the steering knuckle. Probably took 20 minutes total to complete both sides.

 

I did the same thing as you. It was much faster than trying to use dremel all the way around.

 

Looks like a good idea
