I need help replacing the old rotors with the new ones I had tried taken them out before but didnt work I took off the big bolt that seemed to hold thing in place but that didnt workn than i tried taking the little strews that are in the rotors itself but couldnt very hard to take out can anybody help me pleassssssse ? reason for this post is because when im driving and i try to brake the car streering wheels starts to shake like crazy lol so im hoping its the rotors.

 

hey PITBULL, your problem definitely sounds like a brake issue. there are dozens of posts on here (probably some with pictures) if you do a search on this. basically you will either need to get an impact driver and remove the screws or drill them out. you don't need them for reassembly. drilling them out is probably the easiest.

SSTS

 

2 taps with an impact driver took care of mine. The big bolt holds on the axle.

 

Have a friend tighten the axle nut back up and then do the rest of the work for you.
Reading the thread replace brakes will answer all questions and should be mandatory reading.

If no friends with skills- go to a mechanic- sound like you need real help

 

Thank you for viewing my prob i appricate it . Since i dont need the screws that is on them than their coming off one way r another lol but r they hooked on something else other than the rotor ?

 

the only thing that holds the rotor on is the caliper and those 2 pesky screws. Head down to a sears oe local parts store and get a impact screw driver (not a air tool) it will remove them. Once they are removed there is nothing that holds the rotors on. That large screw can be put back on and torqued to 181 ft/lbs. That only holds your axle on.

 

This same question has been asked in every thread about replacing rotors. (Search) No, you don't have to replace the little screws.

 

I had washed the engine of my car and ever since then i get the steady traction light on and the blinking drive light on i could be in any gear it wouldnt make a dif anyone knows about this ??? and what can i do

 

Could have disturbed the speed sensor lead from the back of the brakes
Many people have managed to break the wire working on or around the brakes

Did you get the brakes taken care of and tighten the AXLE bolt-its very important!

 

I myself relpaced the springs on my car all of them and changed the brakes but i dont think i cut any wire s or anything like that but i'll look . THis problem started when i power washed the engine of my car . and about the rotor i should be alright.

 

Its very easy to pull the sensor wire from inside its casing- they get old and brittle
there are threads with pics on here about it
If not during the spring install- common time- then maybe you blasted it with the power washer.
