1993 Geo Metro brake rotors won't come off
 
hey guys im trying to get lil red going again , my 93 metro, and i got new front pads and rotors for it , i have the calipers off and all bolts off the wheel assembly , any idea to why the wheel hub wont come off to allow me to pull off my rotors?

Rust. It may very well take a BFH to get 'em off.

LibbyMetro 01-14-2008 07:08 PM

well the rotor is free from the hub , and the axle shaft pivots freely on the hub , so what is it rusted to?

I don't know about the Metro, but Hondas have two #00 Philips screws that hold the rotor to the hub. It usually takes an impact-screwdriver to get them off, and then either some sharp kicks or a BFH to the outer edge of the rotor.

does the hub press fit together?

If it's rust I would just hit it really hard with a hammer and break the rotor to free it, :)

Let's back up just a moment. The wheel hub doesn't need to come off- just the rotor. So the lug nuts and wheel are off already- are the two little screws in each rotor out too? If so, the only thing between you and removed rotors is rust.

A slide hammer is about the only way you are going to get it off without taking the entire thing apart and putting it in a vise.

You could use a gear puller and a hammer but it might bend it and your hub. I would just go to the auto parts store and pick up a slide hammer they are really no that expensive and if you ever need the rotors off again you will be glad you have it.

the metros brakes arent like most other cars frank , it has an outer hub , you have to remove it to get to the rotor, i asked a friend tonight and he told me how, theres no set screw , hew said its rusted to a metal sleeve and you need a puller, thanks all for your help

I've replaced front rotors on a Metro with my own two hands. On this I know of what I speak.
