Fantastic video! Made taking this off a breeze. My only suggestion is to take the new rotor down to Lowes and get some metric machine screws that screw into the two holes on it....Use those screws to get the old rotor off, it makes the whole thing so much easier! Good luck!

Torque: Front Bracket to Hub: 61.5 ftlbs Front Caliper pin bolts: 19 ftlbs Rear Bracket to Hub: 43.5 ftlbs Rear Caliper pin bolts: 17 ftlbs

Thanks! I used this to access my wheel studs for replacement. I skipped disassembling the caliper via the 12mm bolts since I wasn't after the brakes, instead skipping to breaking the 14mm caliber carriage bolts. As mentioned, they are a beast - I shredded some cheapo sockets trying, but when I switched to hex-pattern, quality sockets I was able to break them loose - the rear-most 14mm came loose, no prob but of course the tightfit, front-most were a total pain. I was able to get my socket onto the front 14mm bolt from the rear because that bolt was cooperative and just whack it with a hammer once - though the finger access from the front is easier once the bolt is loose. I didn't have an 8mm bolt either, so I again revisited the hammer - it seems like some decent thumps towards the edge of the rotor's hub flange-agummer loosened it for me, but I put in a good 2-3 dozen whacks before my rotor came loose. From there a tie-rod removal tool got those shredded wheel bolts outta there! There are videos on using lug nuts and washers to pull your new wheel studs in; which is what I did - by hand: it sucks. And, then reverse the process and torque (caliper carriage bolts @ 17 ft/lb & lugnuts @ 61.5 ft/lb). It was simple thanks to watching you do it first - THANK YOU!!!!!!!!

Excellent vid no BS to the point in what I needed to know Thanks

A easier way to remove the rotor than using a hammer is to thread 8 mm bolts into bolt holes on rotor. Reference: Page 4C-7 (Rear Brakes) of 2009 Suzuki SX4 (RW420) Service Manual.

tony shots uh o

If you are replacing the rotor you are better off smacking it around the outside of the rotor. Then you won't have to worry about accidentally hitting the lugs 😁 And use a 2-5 lb sledge. Not a carpenters hammer...

I need help with my 2006 G6 pontiac the car will start in the morning fine. But after work when I drive to go home or someplace else, I shut it down and then try to start it back on nun happen.
