SkipII Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 I see two threaded holes on rotor cap. I assume that takes a bolt to push the rotor off the hub? What size bolt? also, does anyone know the order in which to bleed the brakes? I usually start from closest to brake cylinder and go out-- LF, RF, FR, RR Thanks.

Rooster2 Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 does anyone know the order in which to bleed the brakes? I usually start from closest to brake cylinder and go out-- LF, RF, FR, RR Thanks. Hmmm........... I have heard just the opposite on brake bleeding order, that is, starting first with the wheel the farthest from the master cylinder, and proceeding to the wheel closest to the MC. So with that thought, that would mean, RR, LR, RF, LF. Just my 2 cents worth, see what other opinions are offered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nipper Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Brake bleeding before ABS was the farthest wheel first. Now its right front, left rear, etc http://endwrench.com/images/pdfs/BrakeFluidSumm02.pdf I think thats a 10mm bolt hole. nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 The rotor/drum tapped hole (on OEM parts anyway) is M8. The pitch is standard; I forget if it is 1.0mm or 1.25mm. I think 1.25mm. Right on with the brake bleed order. It is opposite of many other makes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

porcupine73 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 hehe...right on a 1 is definitely involved! I have noted that the normal hardware store bolts are good for maybe one or two uses in wedging off the rotor or drum. It seems to gall the bolt threads. The drum/rotor I believe is cast iron, which is pretty hard compared to the typical hardware store bolt. Even the bolts from the 'puller' kits bend pretty easily in this job.
