When comparing the new and the old rotor, everything is the same, except the inner diameter on the center hole, which is around 0.5-1mm smaller on the new rotor. I've tried to refit the wheel, and force the rotor into place, without any luck. The rotor is 2-3mm from being where it should be.
Do i have the wrong rotor, or do i have to either expand the hole on the rotor, or decrease the diameter where its mounted? The car is a 97` 6GC T20 with rear disk brakes. The disks where bought for this exact model. EDIT: Look at the bottom for the new problem.. This post has been edited by skogs: Oct 3, 2011 - 10:01 AM |

Presuming I understand your question:
If the caliper will not move on the sliding bushings, it's seized. Disassembly can be difficult -- I had to once disassemble mine using a hammer and punch. If the sixth-gen caliper is the same basic design as the fifth-gen, there's a small metal cap on the caliper, on the end where the caliper will pivot. Use a pair of pliers to twist the cap off and you can see the sliding bushing. It's not bolted into the caliper -- the bolt head you see secures the bushing to the caliper bracket. Spray in some penetrating lubricant and try to separate the caliper from the bracket. If you cannot, I found a punch, hammer, and some blocks of wood to support the caliper worked well enough. Post-disassembly, a wire brush is advisable to clean the various parts, though a new sliding bushing might be advisable. |
