Hi all
Well its time..put new cheap brake padson my 98 corolla hours ago. quit stop under the shims.Grinding noise comes n goes front of car, it was time. the calipers have seen better das, so gunna get napa ones in a day or too, put em on myself..
My problem today is...on the passenger side, the rotor itself has seen better days, groones along it, all crusty rusted in the middle. The rotor would NOT come off!And i got new napa rotors. i tried mildly strongishy pushing the rotor, back n forth, it wouldnt give way.
i noticed in the middle, thiers a cotter pin, spindle lock nut. is that what holding the rotor on? i saw youtube vids for my application, and in those vids, the rotor just came off, withot messing with the cotter pin.
is my rotor rusted/frozen? something i can use a rubber mallett with? or does the cotterpin spindleneed too come off? it kinda appears th nut is touchingthebaseof the rotor. but its hard too tell,the rust
hope some or all can help and inform me: )
