ubertalldude Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 I was having difficulty getting the rear disc/drum rotor off the hub so I could inspect & adjust the rear parking drum brake assembly. I realized there were 2 bolt holes on the rotor. I'm not sure of the original thread size on these, but I used an M8 tap to tap into those and POP! The tap threading through the holes was enough to break the rusty rotor off of the hub. Useful little feature Nissan built in there! Definitely saved a lot of headache on removing those rusty old rotors, and now my parking brake grabs sufficiently and doesn't rub! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawairish Posted June 26, 2017 Share Posted June 26, 2017 Yep, good observation. That's exactly what those holes are for. In some cases, though, you just need to be mindful when reinstalling them so that the holes go over a flat spot on the hub, and not another hole.
