[DMCForum] Re: AutoZone and the Condo Nazis



Walt,

Sorry for the delayed reply. I've been playing "tactical twidget". :(

Yes, the caliper must be unbolted. Those bolts are accessible from 
the back. If I disconnect the brake line, THEN undo the hub nut, then 
the caliper will come away with the rotor, hub and wheel all as one 
unit.

I will not remove the caliper until I remove the 4 bolts that secure 
the rotor to the hub. If, as you say I -still- can't drill out the 
lugs from the back, that's ok. I'll drill from the front but then I 
can push DOWN with my weight instead of sideways.

Does this make sense now, and do you see any other issues I didn't 
think of?

Rich
