Hi,

I just had my wheel bearings done a few months ago at the dealer. I will bedoing my brake pads and replacing the rotors as well in the next few weeksm so Im starting to prepare. Since I just got the bearing work donw, I would liek to know if it is possible to remove the rotors without taking off the grease seals and messing around with my ne and newly packed bearings. Can I just remove the cap, and leave the inner and outer bearings attached to the hub and all one piece, and just slide the old rotor off, and slide the new rotor on?

Also, does anyone have the torque specs for the allen bolts that hold the rotors to the hubs?

Finally, since it is apparetnyl really hard to get the rotors off the hubs, and I dont even have a vice, is it reccomended that I spray something on the bolts and between the rotor and hub so to make the removal easier?

Thanks very much,

JMH
