95 Celica Convertible 2.2l brake rotor issue - Toyota Nation Forum : Toyota Car and Truck Forums

Hi all. I sure welcome your input on this.

I bought my 1995 GT in 2006 with 39,000 original miles. Amazing car! It now has 80,000 and badly needs brakes. So I bought some high quality pads and new rotors online. When I took off the wheel and calliper today on the front driver side, I noticed that the rotor does not come off separate from the bearing (at least from what i can see). The new rotors definitely are the slip on variety. I went to the library - no Celica repair manuals, but the camry's and corollas of the same year only show a slip-on variety. I'm confused! How could I have ordered the wrong parts when none of the websites I visited showed anything other than these inexpensive easy-to-remove type rotors! Am I missing something here?

It should come off. IT might be rusted in place and need some force to get it off.
Take a photo so we can see if it was swapped to something else.

i just completed the rear brakes, putting on new rotors and pads. that went perfectly smooth. the parts were right on the back brakes. but for some reason, it seems i need to pull the dust cap, cotter pin and the 30mm nut on the hub to get the front rotors off. Anyone?

No, something is wrong. Front rotor pull out like the rear one.
