Then you've never done a proper brake job unless you have a nice on car rotor turning equip.



I am going to slotted rotors all the way around https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...DIR#>/wink.png

"evertime i do fc brakes"...i was so expecting, "i break the brakes."

I bought new rotors for the car, once it needs service the car, along with pick-up, will be serviced at the brake shop, it's too inexpensive not to have them do it.

this is the front we are talking about? I used a dead blow impact with a phillips head as well. I broke it 6 times (sears lifetime warranty) before I got the car done



I left the screws out after

[quote name='phinsup' date='Mar 26 2005, 05:01 PM']I swear to got I wanna shoot the **********er that designed that setup, the two phillips screws holding the rotor on is a god damn joke.... so after a days worth of fun, i need those two screws and a new hub. Why the hell aren't they just held on with the lug nuts like every other rotor known too man.



Unless I just cut one fo the screws out of the system I am fucked because the one is snapped off and I cant even drill it out (ez snapped too).



Soo anyone got a 5 lug front hub?

phinsup, thoughs 2 screws are only there to hold the rotors on the car during assembly, yes they can be drilled out very easy as they are made of a very soft steel, i know cause with the amount of brake problems on the mazda 6 i drill and remove them damn same screws as the rx7 some times 10 times a day. i rune without them screws on my fc and have never had any problems.

just realized i pretty much said the same things everyone else did lol, man i need to get some original material and learn to spell better hahaha.

but if there was any second guessing about them screws im a master mazda tech and even at mazda tech school they say **** them lil screws too!

umm i remembered now i drilled the heads off. jay turbovr6 got one or two off by heating to one million degrees then using a 100 ton press.....then they magically popped off..........Aluminum hubs to Iron Rotors = MELTED TOGETHER after 20 years :(

yep, **** fc brakes/ what a ******* bitch. that was the first and last time I touched brake rotors on an fc

and coat the aluminum hub and the inside of the brake rotor hat with antiseize

Odd, I've never had an issue with rotor removal on any of my FCs.
