Aeolian -> RE: Removing the rotors on a 2005 Colorado (3/12/2008 5:53:11 PM)
|
I'm curious if the hammer trick worked for you fbloss... I tried that also and it was a no go for me. I even have an extractor, and I couldn't get that to work. After that I figured they must be pressed on. I never had experience with a truck that was designed as late as 2004 and I figured it part of the new design. (Mine's the 2005 version) I ended up taking off the whole wheel assembly on both sides and bringing them down to the autoparts store and getting them pressed off. It took a few tons of pressure to get them off, and to get the new ones pressed back on. Because the truck was relatively new, the clerks at the store said they hadn't seen it before.
All I know was the dealer wanted almost $600 to replace the rotors and pads. It cost me $150 in parts (and the pressing) and 2 hours time.
I may be wrong that they're all pressed on, but I couldn't get them off either... someone let me know if you've run into this as well.
Thanks!
