Hey guys, I am going to replace my rotors since they're going bad especially the passenger side rotor is loose right now, but the weird thing is that I can't find the rotor screws that the TL DIY calls to remove. I had my tires changed and so I looked at the rotors for the screws, but couldn't find them the holes aren't even there for the screws

any ideas?

 

take pics?

 

The screws are not really neded as the wheel and lugs hold the rotor in place.

See if the rotors will come off.

 

From what i remember I had two on each one...but they are not ur typical screw and like Zippee said u dont really need them i guess.

 

but the thing is, the holes aren't even present for the screws to go into... I wish i had taken pics

 

it's like the rotors never came with the screws from the factory

 

No big deal. The wheel and caliper holds the rotor on anyway.

 

its all good....the screw is just there to hold the rotor on during the assembly process at the factory... the rotor screw guy was changing the bit on his drill when urs came by on the line...

 

You may have some aftermarket rotors from the person who owned the car before you. Either way its no big deal. In fact you're lucky cause sometimes they are hard as hell to get off and ussually need a impact driver to get them off if they are oem.

Don't sweat it.

 

they're supposed to look like these with the screw holes



but instead they look like these

 

the two counter sunk screw holes are just for screws to hold the rotors in place during car assembly. The threaded screw holes are there to help you get a rotor free from the hub. Insert bolt of correct thread and tighten it until the rotor pops off the hub. Or do what I do and hit it with a BFH.

 

I don't have screws on mine.

 

you're lucky you dont have the screws, they were a pain to get out. I didn't have an impact driver so I had to drill them out... and it wasn't a 5 minute thing.

 

Werd. Drilled out the last set and didn't put them back. As others have said, they're only there for assembly at the plant and aren't needed. This is the first vehicle I've owned that's even had them.

 

Yea, thats what happened to me, had to drill the fronts out. Went through a set of titanium coated bits too.
