Rear rotor replacement
 

I was looking for a DIY guide on rear rotor replacement. I find a lot of posts about the fronts, not so much on the rear. Anyone have a link to a guide or video?Thanks!

It's pretty straight forward from what I remembered when I was replacing a rear stud.

I reused the same torque specs as the fronts for the rears.

1. Remove wheel
2. Remove caliper and pads (hang or have something that will hold it up instead of having it dangle)
3. Remove rotor (I used a screw into one of the holes on the rotor to push it off)

No need to take off axle nut from what I recalled.

Click on the readme link in my sig. You'll figure it out from there.

AWESOME! Thanks for this!

Welcome. It's not mine but I figured we can share the love.

2.5 - Make sure e-brake is fully released, you'll never get it off if the e-brake is engaged at all.

OK all the honest guys raise your hand if you ever didn't do this ^

The worst one though was working on the rear UCA and not dropping the ebrake. Nothing would line up no matter how much we pulled. Released it with my buddy under the car and the the pieces whipped back so hard from the built up tension and buzzed a couple inches from his head lol

Wife - "What is the matter?"
Me - "Can't get the damned back drums off"
Wife - "Did you release the parking brake"
Me - "Of course I did. You think I am some sort of idiot?"


Later
"I am an idiot"

In my defense it was one of the few vehicles I owned back then where the e brake actually still worked.
