Re-post removing rotos on '05 Legacy


Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

 

Knew it was some number with a 1 in it :)

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.
