Helpppp please. I follow the instruction how to remove the pads, caliper, and rotor from my cam gen4, i4. The pads, caliper were easy. The rotor is

I can't pull it out from the hub. I tried wd40, hammer it, but it wouldn't come out. Any suggestion idea that can help me to take it out ??? Help pleaseeee

it has these little holes on it to help your remove the rotor if its rusted to the hub....

you can either go buy a rotoer puller that will have a bolt that fits into it, or you can find a screw/bolt that will fit and ratchet it in....then it'll pop the rotor out

I don't know about the gen4, but on he gen3, bottom bolt on the rear caliper fits into the holes perfectly and you can use that

good luck

^excellent advice...

you dont want to do too much with a hammer... you COULD damage the wheel bearing in the process. i'd suggest doing what eye8 said

thanks, i used 2 bolts and stuck it in the holes, and everything worked out.
