HELP! Celica ST202 Rear Wheel Bearing

[jhaletama]

I have a problem removing the discs off my celica stupid me thought they would quite easily pull off but obviously not! After removing the wheel and the brake caliper i am left with 5 studs 2 small screw holes and 1 hole with a rubber gromit in, when i remove the gromit you can see inside but i am lost as wat to do. can some one please advise my next step please.

I had the same problem you did the other day except i went through hell getting rotor off.

Inside of rotor has drum and brake shoes for the emergency brake.Remember that rubber plug you took out of the hole. One would think hole is too small fpe for anything l but you have to rotate the rotor until that hole is at the 6'oclock position. It would have been worth it to have a service manual. Get a small flat screw driver and loosen up the brake adjuster screw. The rotor should come right off.

Don't make the mistake i did and put the rotor back on without making sure hole is lined up. I did and got the thing stuck on with no access to the hole. I just left it like it was.

Now if someone can tell me how to get the rearcaliper mount off the rear caliper. It also had one of those plugs but i can't imagine how to get that bolt out unless that cap unscrews with a small torx or allen wrench.

Hope this helps.

Peace
