The back rotors were a bi***. I would recommend the use of generous amouts of WD-40 and a large hammer to get them off if you've got high mileage on your rotors. They look great and once broken in should provide many miles of enjoyment. Thanks to all that offered help, tools and advice.

When I removed mine for the wheel bearing, I used the universal puller to pull that sucker off! ------------------ AirKnight (Dominic Ho) Buffalo, NY AIM: AirKnight on MTB My BEAST [This message has been edited by AirKnight (edited April 24, 2001).] UBRF.org , Western New York's Premiere Automotive Forum.

I actuallt broke off a piece of the old rotor, I wasn't planning to reuse them so that turned out ok, oh and a sledge hammer helped too Quote: Originally posted by AirKnight: I hope you put Anti-Seize on the back of the rotor that goes to the hub before putting it back on!

Hope I don't ever have to do that again. Think I'll sell this car before I need new brakes again. Not sure yet of the replacement car. I'll let you guys know. 2002 Nissan Sentra SE-R Spec V Vibrant Blue - fully loaded
