Rear Rotor removal for a 98 Honda Passport
Hello everyone. I am doing rear brakes on a 98 Passport LX 4wd V6. I
have pulled off the calipers and am trying to remove the rotors, but they don’t come off. I’ve looked for a clip and it doesn’t seem like pulling the hub or trying to knock the studs out would help. Does anyone have any idea on how to remove them? Thank you in advance for any help you can give. -- Posted using the http://www.autoforumz.com interface, at author's request Articles individually checked for conformance to usenet standards Topic URL: http://www.autoforumz.com/Honda-Rear...ict137847.html Visit Topic URL to contact author (reg. req'd).

They should slide off, but are seized to the hub itself. You could have a struggle here. First make sure any Phillips-head screws have been removed. If you can't get those out, use an impact driver. If that fails, drill them out. Now get a nylon hammer and try pounding the rotor off from the inner face (keep close to the inside edge of the friction surface). You might have to pound hard. If that doesn't work, get a 1# steel hammer and tap the side of the "top hat" while turning the rotor in an attempt to make the rust crack. Once in a while try the nylon hammer thing again. Good luck. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Re: Rear Rotor removal for a 98 Honda Passport
I have a '95 Passport, on the'95s, in the rear there is a drum brake
behind the disc rotor-drum brake. your foot operates the disc brake and the hand brake operates the drum brake. Is the handbrake on? That could be the problem. If it is rusted on, try penetrating oil.

That could be the problem. Touche! Missed that one! Not too many cars have that setup. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |
