Just put the 69 on jacks awaiting the new calipers. While I was there, I pulled the rotor and hub and I think I'll replace the rotors. How do you get the rotor off the hub? It looks like they're pressed or rivited on?

I've done brake jobs for many years on other cars. This is a new one for me?

Thanks

 

ooops, sorry. I misread the question. Thought you were wanting to take the spindle and disk assembly off the car. I would delete this reply, but can't figure out how.

 

Does anyone have advice?

Thanks

 

Riveted if they've never been replace before. The rear ones require machining on the spindle to obtain the runout tolerance of about 0.001-0.002". Otherwise the rotor will cause the caliper to pump air past the piston seals and you get spongy brakes.

 

OK, so what do you do the first time around on the fronts? Do you drill them out then replace with bolts like most cars have? I would imagine there is a bolt kit designed for this.

Thanks

 

Actually you don't need to replace them with anything as the wheel holds them on. Just like the old brake drums were.
