Toomey Banshee Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I have the wheels, calipers, the 3 bolts behind the rotor backing plate all removed. Its a 4X4 and the rotor is not friggin budging. Do I have to take the large nut off thats in the center of the caliper, the one with the cotter pin and the dust cover? I was told by dodge I dont have to. I need a little help here before I friggin melt down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellison445 Posted May 12, 2005 Report Share Posted May 12, 2005 I had the same problem installing my cross drilled rotors. Get yourself a propane torch and a couple of 3-4 inch carrage bolts and nuts. Put the carrage bolts in from the back of the rotor( the holes were the caliper mounts) put on nut on back and screw the carrage bolt until it gets tight, hit the middle of the rotor with the torch and they should pop right off..If not continue to tighten the carrage bolts..Good luck, PM me if you have any trouble!!

zilladude Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 If you are replacing the rotor, just use a BFH on the back side of the rotor. Before you do that reinstall the 3 bolts, they are for the bearing assembly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think that these screws were holding the rotor onto the hub on my girls car, i thought it was the big ass nut in the middle of the rotor.
