Hi... Im stuck in the garage with my car on stands.
1st thing to go wrong was G16B brake pads.. I have a G16A. Look in the FS section if you'd like some new Bendix pads. :D
so I thought id change the rotors instead, wheel off caliper off, cant get the rotor off.
Did some google ing and I thought they were a floating rotor that would come off with some persuasion froma rubber mallet but im getting nowhere....
Any tricks to this?
Thanks

There's 2 M8 holes threaded into the rotor so you can wind a bolt in to remove the rotor from the hub.

I realised that when I posted. But maybe the next person who has trouble does a search and finds out the correct way

Yeah I looked at those holes and there was nothing in them.
It appeared they'd just been on there a while and didn't want to leave.
I just tapped them out with the rounded end of the crow bar from under the car, probably not quite as bad as it first sounded. Lol.
thanks guys
