hey guys how do you remove the rear discs on a TH sedan... need to adjust handbrake... possibly something broken inside discs

thanks in advance,
Lloyd

once the wheel and caliper is off it should just come off

thats what i done on mine

i'll try a hammer:D

back off the handbrake adjusting gear and give it a whack with a hammer (presuming you are putting new units on)

wanted to adjust handbrake.... got the discs off nothing broken.. reassembled, adjusted and still not working... conclusion stretched cables

if you're adjusting the handbrake, they don't need to come off. there's a hole in the hat that allows you to adjust the handbrake.

if you are not replacing the rotors, DO NOT HIT THEM WITH A HAMMER!!! you might try a rubber mallet, but nothing metallic.

using a hammer will, at best, leave indents and scores on the rotor surface and at worst warp or bend the discs and make them unusable.

I found using copious amounts of degreaser and tapping the lug nuts loosened my rear rotor that was stuck. funnily enough, one came off super easy, the other was a pain.

cheers,

I presume you've already tried the adjuster under the centre console?

there is a couple of threaded holes in the hat of the disc. These are to thread bolts into and "pop" the discs off. Obviously this is after you have backed off the handbrake shoes. :D

have a teaspoon of concrete:bowrofl:

I haven't actually checked anything on mine out yet, seems that the handbrake isn't fully releasing, squeals/groans sometimes when reversing after releasing.

most cars you can use the caliper bolt to do it,
