Need to know the size of a nut on my 98 Forester

[Subieguy]

I am trying to pull the front rotors off my 98 Forester. I need to know the size of the nut that is bolted on to the CV axle so I can go buy the right size. Anybody know? Thanks,

That's the axle nut, you don't need to even think about touching that to get the rotors off.

Remove the brake caliper, then remove the bracket by removing the two large bolts that hold it to the back of the knuckle. Not suer if these have hold screws on eh rotors or not, but if it has them there will be one or two #3 phillips head screws that need to be removed, then give a good whack on the back side of the rotor with a big hammer a few times. Give the rotor a spin 180 degrees and repeat if it doesn't pop loose on the first try.

32mm but like he said it doesn't hold the rotors on.

Yeah I figured that out. So used to working on EA cars. You have to do that to get the rotors off. My Bad:o

Not your Bad; we all learned this one way or another. That's why I like this Board.
