hey guys so i got a 99 cl spindle for my 97 (knuckle,hubassembly and rotor togther,the whole thing) is it GOING TO FIT ON MY 97 CUZ THE DAM ROTOR LOOKS SMALLER............................... and is it gonna cause a problem if my driver side is old design?

thanks

 

it might fit but you'll have different type of brakes on either sides.
and you prolly got a 2.3 spindle if your rotors are smaller.

 

wait so the 2.2 spindle is smaller................well here u know the guard(or shield) ? its smaller in size thats a definite

what does that tell u?

 

can i just buy a 3.0 1999 rotor and swap it into the 2.2/.3 spindle? that way i can use my older brake stuff??

 

interesting... spindle??
you mean hub, wheel bearing. rotor?
i dont understand

 

well i mean spindle as in knuckle,bearing,hub,and rotor the whole piece


ok so heres what i did i changed the brake brackets and calipers with the 3.0 design but now i need to change the rotor to the 3.0 design.the brakes are not sitting right on that smaller rotor so can i just swap in the bigger 3.0 one?

please tell me thats possible

 

bump anyone please tell me if the 1999 3.0 rotor can be put on the 1999 2.3 hub unit(disregard the brake bracket and the caliper) just wanna know if it will sit on the 2.3 hub correctly.

 

no, the 3.0 rotor disc is bigger than the 2.3

 

yes its bigger but the lug sizes are the same , and the spacing is outwards and to the top not towards the bottom where the hub is correct?

if 3.0 rotors cant fit on the 2.3 hub what will happen once i put them on the lugs?? ............didnt some cl'er on azine interchange his 2.3 with 3.0 rotors and calipers and brackets?.. that is without changing the hub..
?

i just ordered me a 3.0 rotor can someone please confirm that it will sit on the 2.3 hub?

(i understand that the dust shield would have to be moved out of the way for the longer rotor)

 

the rotor will sit on it correctly, but the caliper wont clear it.....

 

ok SWEET!! because if u read what i said earlier i did exchange the brake bracket and caliper to the 3.o design...thats all i need right?

 

why not lude vtec rotor. bigger than the 3.0
thats what i got
on top of that why not upgrade to dual piston set-up

 

 

hey supra to be honest with im just trying to run my cl its been in my backyard for 3 months and i been really busy with school and stuff but those bigger lude rotors are defintely sexci

 

92-96 Prelude VTEC rotors are the same as the 98-99 3.0 CL.

 

Man I need to put my legend calipers on

 

so the verdict is that yes the 3.0 rotor does fit on a 2.3 hub?

 

absolutely does. have fun. i bet ur glad to get rid of youre hub over rotor set-up. you bet was

 

niceeee so the legend calipers front and rear fit the cl .92-96 Prelude VTEC rotors biger than the cls. so get a set of legend calipers and order a set od prelude VETC rotors thats it right,do i need any thing alse

 

I will be too

 

sweet thanks guy for the help

 

read the noob guide. the legend caliper swap has been explained many times.

 

second time i've gotten to use this

 

hey u dont think that my 3.0 engine would cause the 2.3 wheel bearings to fail do you?...(not sure if the 3.0 and 2.3 use same bearing but they have diffrent part numbers..)

 

how hard was removing the axle nuts and the old hubs and spindles? Did you need any bolts or were you missing any other parts aside from moving the 3.0 plastic shields over?

 

oh no no i think ur getting the wrong idea, heres what i did.

the axle nut is easy to remove..really easy just bought an 18'' breaker bar for 20 buks and loaned the 36mm socket and popped right off with tire on the ground

then i removed my 1997 3.0 knuckle (its failed thats why im doing all this)

bought a 1999 2.3 spindle( with the whole knuckle bearing hub and 2.3 rotor installed)

removed the 2.3 caliper and brake bracket

took my old caliper and brake bracket and put it onto the 2.3 spindle(knucklebearinghubrotor unit)

then i put that onto my 97 3.0

i ordered a 3.0 rotor to fit onto the 2.3 hub cuz obviosuly the bigger brakes i have on are now extended beyond the surface of the rotor

im plannin on installing that (the rotor) this friday cuz auto parts store dont have it in stock
-----------------------------------------------------
as far as removing the knuckle ,remove the tie rod connection with the knuckle, open the lower ball joint; jack up the rotor ,and put a wrench or whatever metal between the knuckle and the control arm THEN SLOWLY release the rotor down from the jack , the control arm now being unbolted through the ball joint has no where to go but DOWN

then just unbolt the upper ball joint and take that off

dont forgot the abs and brake line
