When removing the rotors from a 240 do you have to remove the Cotter Pin and the 36mm nut behind it or do you bang between the studs with a rubber hammer till the rotor comes loose?

Thanks in advance

wheel/caliper off, rubber mallet should do the trick

just wheel/caliper and rotors should come off.

try the mallet. but most people don't know those little holes on the rotor are to get the rotor off if stuck. find a bolt that will fit the smaller hole screw it in, and rotor should pop off

well.....i broke off the end of a 14mm bolt trying to turn the rotor off so i'm guessing it calls for a 13mm bolt which i don't have. i'm still in the middle of trying to rubber mallet it off but the damn thing won't budge. i WD40'd both sides of the rotor the best that i could and still nothing.


nevermind my neighbor gave me a heavier weighted cow hide mallet and it came right off in about three hits.

now i need to get the broken stud out

yeah my 240 breaks were a big pain in the ass

Update:

1. My rear caliper seals are busted

2. I need to know the next best way to put wheel studs in aside from taking off the entire hub and having them pressed in because I cannot get that 36mm nut out to remove the hub.

3. If anyone would like to help just get my number on here and come on by cuz it seems like my car will be on jack stands for longer than intended.

bang out the old one and put the new one in...the studs have splines on them. You will feel it catch then just hammer it in straight
