I cut through one brake rotor...?

So yeah. The guy who had this car before me apparently replaced 3 out of 4 rotors when he got the brakes changed(don't ask me why, ive wondered about this for weeks). Anyway, for a while that one rear brake rotor would just make the grinding noise consistent with a warped rotor, and today well. today after a *clunk* my brakes came back up to standard pressure, and the noise ceased. I pulled over, had a look, and lo and behold... no more disc part of the rotor, just the hub. I suspect im in danger of losing fluid, but since the pads on there are fine theyre just squeezing a hunk of the rotor. whats the prognosis? it stops better than it did before, can I just cap the brake line till i have the extra funds to replace that rotor?(spare me the lecture about how i should have done it before, you don't know my financials. ps, its an uncommon luxury car so each rotor is over 100 USD just to buy).I cut through one brake rotor...?
the caliper is bad thats why one wore out prematurely and youll need to fix your brake as this could become very dangerousI cut through one brake rotor...?
well, you should be fine, but that is a common rotor price, and if you have a luxury car be prepared to pay luxury prices, also should be able to do the work your self, it is relatively simple. If you can change a tire you can change a rotor.I cut through one brake rotor...?
if it is on a front wheel i would say to replace it. your car will jerk to the side that has the brake when you apply it. most of your breaking power comes from your front breaks too. i think capping the line would be fine til you get it fixed.I cut through one brake rotor...?
No don't drive it.

You will cause more damage to the break system and just rack up a larger bill.

Park it until you can fix it.I cut through one brake rotor...?
well if it is a new ish car you should be working on at least split diagonal break lines which means if you loose fluid from one wheel you will have at least 2 that do work for example: the front right goes but you still have your front left and back right working...either way if it isn't affecting your controls/handling on the road when braking or just driving then it should be fine to use....just make sure you can get it to a garage (or do it yourself) as soon as possible to be on the safe sideI cut through one brake rotor...?
Okay, here is some advice for the future. If you can't afford expensive maintenance don't buy uncommon luxury cars. Two you should of fixed the problem when you heard it grinding. what probably happened was that the caliper on that rotor went bad and and started clamping down way to hard when you pushed the brakes. Thus, wearing out the brake pads and denigrating the rotor over time. That brake line can be disconnected and capped. Make sure the brakes are not engaged what so ever. Note make sure it doesn't engage when you pull the parking brake also. Most of the braking is done with your front brakes any ways, that is why your car leans forward when you hit the brakes. This is not an advise able fix and i strongly encourage you to fix the brake as soon as possible and sell the car. You need to buy some thing that you can afford to maintain. P.S. you do need to hear the lecture. suck it up, grow up and do better. Good Luck

How do you change the rotors on a 94 honda accord.?

I am looking to replace the brakes and the rotors on my 94 honda accord and need any help I can get.How do you change the rotors on a 94 honda accord.?
Honda rotors are bolted onto the hub, from the inside. You have to pull the cv shaft out of the hub end. The wheel bearing is a press fit. So you have to use a slide hammer to remove the hub from inside the bearing. Then you can unbolt the rotor and replace it. Then reinstall everything. I would suggest you take it to a shop and have it done.

Dealer will charge a bunch for this. The good news is that there's nothing special about these brakes, and any competent mechanic can change them. Use an independent and save a bunch of money.



I'm currently using Pagid pads and ATE rotors on my E320. I believe those are the stock brands, and they aren't expensive if you buy from independents. If you're buying parts yourself, don't forget to pick up new wear indicators. The other thing to remember is that the rear disks are different, depending on whether you have a sedan or wagon.I need new brake pads and/or rotors for my 2002 Benz E320,whats the best types and brands for pads and rotors?

How do you clear a low brake alert on my C230 kompressor sport sedan.?

I changed my brake pads and turned the rotors since they within spec. The brake wear message is still coming on the dash when I brake. how do I reset the alert to not come on until the pads are worn down again?How do you clear a low brake alert on my C230 kompressor sport sedan.?
I have the same car and do all my work myself. First you need to make sure a new brake sensor was installed when the pads were changed. It's a small wire that fits on the calliper on the front passenger side of the vehicle. To reset the dash light: Get in the car and close all the doors. Turn the key to the 2 position (on but before the engine starts). Scroll the screen to the %26quot;service%26quot; section. Hold the reset button (same button you'd use to reset the mileage meter) in for 10 seconds. Release it, then hold it in again for 3 seconds. If the brake sensor wasn't replaced, you can buy one online very cheaply (less than $5).How do you clear a low brake alert on my C230 kompressor sport sedan.?

How do you change the rotors on a Ford F250?

how do you change the front rotors on a Ford F250

I have removed the brakes, caliper, and locking hub cap. Is there any thing else that needs to be removed or is the rotor just supose to slide off at this point, in which case it does not.How do you change the rotors on a Ford F250?
This sounds like it's a four wheel drive. My Blazer works this way, so yours may be the same. If so, you have to remove the hubs. The rotor is held in place with the wheel studs. They are pressed into the rotor. But there is more to it than this. There is an inner and outer bearing as well as retainers for the outer bearing. There is a specific Way in which to re install everything. Unless you are set up to do everything, you shouldn't attempt it. Go get a manual for your truck and have a look to see if it's something you want to tackle.How do you change the rotors on a Ford F250?
did u remove da brake lines and also u might have to pop it out if its rusted it will be harder to take off and also there is a center bolt on the hub take a look at that and see if UN screwed it or not

How to I change the rotors on a 94 Civic CX?

Is there a way not to remove the caliper but to swing it out of the way? If not. I see two bolts holding the caliper and brake shoe assembly in place are those the ones I need to remove the caliper. I know how to get the rotor off after that

. ThanksHow to I change the rotors on a 94 Civic CX?
To remove the rotor you must remove the caliper. Or at least the bracket holding the caliper.



You can not simply swing the caliper out of the way. You can only do this if you are slapping new pads on, and it's not recommended.



Always get rotors turned when doing a brake job to ensure proper pad to surface contact.How to I change the rotors on a 94 Civic CX?
Yes those two bolts holds it and it has to be remove to change the rotorHow to I change the rotors on a 94 Civic CX?

How do I change rotors on my 2000 mustang?

I am in the middle of my brake and rotor replacement project and I am stuck - literally! I got the calipers off and I know that you turn those bolts to the right (despite the righty tighty lefty loosy rule). When I take the bolts out to remove the rotors, do I turn the bolt to the right or left? My brakes were GONE so the bolts are pretty much burnt into place with brake dust and I want to be sure I'm turning them the right way. It took me 20 minutes and a whole lot of elbow grease just to get my calipers off! I don't want to strip my bolts and end up having to drill them out.

-Oh, and yeah I am a girl who LOVES cars. I'm trying to do this myself. I want to do this without having to call my dad for help. I have something to prove. I want to go to the Nascar Technical Institute and work on race cars, maybe even drive one one day. I know what I'm doing, It's just been 7 years and 2 kids since I've done this. I do have 2 years of auto mechanic training. Sorry if this is a stupid question. My book for my car isn't here and my brakes went out so I can't go get it. I know what I'm doing, I just need a little reminder on HOW, PLEASE?!?How do I change rotors on my 2000 mustang?
Im guessing you removed the caliper and left the bracket in place? And now your trying to get the bracket off? Most likely you wont be able to do it with just a 1/2 in drive, your going to need a bar to put on the end to get more leverage(breaker bar) I had to use it on my a couple months ago. I think the drivers side you push the bar down(towards the ground) and passenger your push up(towards the top).How do I change rotors on my 2000 mustang?
Take the nuts off the wheels. Remove the tires. ratchet and socket and remove bolt from back of caliper on both sides slide up and off. The brake pads slide right out on both sides. and then pull rotor straight towards you and off. Reverse process to put back on.How do I change rotors on my 2000 mustang?
Mike is right, 1/2 will work just use what is called a cheater bar! It's 2' pipe about 30-40%26quot; long slip over the ratchet/breakerbar, and pry away. It will make the job so easy, it's leverage!How do I change rotors on my 2000 mustang?
Every rotor I have ever replaced was just slipped on over the lugs, and didn't require removing any bolts (after you take off the calipers of course).



If yours are bolted on, then you might want to get some rust buster and spray it on the bolts. Let it soak in really good, and then try popping them loose again.



Good luck - and I think it's awesome that you are a girl who wants to work on cars!!
