brake rotors

[georgeb]

from the diagram it looks like the rotor/hub are bolted together, they slide onto the splined shaft and are held on by the halfshaft nut correct ???
BTW my replacement rotor/hub is on assembly and not bolted together

Are you saying that your rotor and hub is one piece?

Yup that's correct, but you can get the hub out of the knuckle while it's still on the car

[Movin]

you ever get one to work on a Festy?

Yes, excellent results. The non-direction finish is a nice plus too.

we have one at my shop but it SUCKS and i wouldn't use it on any car. takes forever to set up and we have to bits for it to boot!.

Its nice having the rotor turned true to the hub as well. The other way will
almost always have a little lateral run out no matter how much you clean
mating surfaces.

You are right, they take a little longer to set up but not more than a couple
minutes , unless you haven't thrown the directions away yet! The way
the manufacturer says to do it is nuts for production.

A slide hammer will usually pull the hub/rotor out of the knuckle. Just make sure you don't get the bearing and races dirty and might as well put a little fresh grease in there while it's apart.

It's not the preferred method, as bearing damage can happen, but it works well enough the majority of the time.

oh, here's a big tip for you if you pull the hub from the knuckle (on or off the car):
Do NOT loose the spacer ring!!! and do NOT use it for the other side!!!!
