Taking rotors off

[Slicktop_serg]

What size is the hex head to take off the rotor. I don't want to strip it and be screwed :-?

I did this last night. I think 5mm. Don't you have a set of hex heads to try fitting before reefing on it? Also, mine came out with about 10lb of pressure at the most. just hit it with PB blaster before trying to take it out. Make sure your ebrake is off or you won't be able to remove the rotor.

I did but the one that fit still had a lil play in it and i awsnt sure if it was going to strip or not are you 100% its 5mm?

Yes, 5mm

Use a hex tool that attaches to a ratchet. If you use a standard style allen wrench you will likely strip it.

I used an Allen wrench for all four of mine yesterday and with av5 minute soak in pb blaster they came off no problem. 5mm is correct.

Thanks guys got it off with a 5mm, a lil bit of pb and some of that forearm muscle lol ;)

Use anti-seize on the screws when you put the rotors on.
