Thats what i was afraid of sad.gif It was soooo much of a pain to replace my wheel bearings that i dont want to go near them again! Oh well.
if you have 2001 Tib, you have non captive break setup, so you don't need to mess with bearings to change rotors.

You won't mess with the bearings by replacing your rotors. All you do is take off the rims, take off the caliper, and they should come off with a light smack on the backside with a rubber mallet.
Or if you live in an area that gets REAL winters youll have to spend 2 hours banging on each rotor before they come off.
"light smack" lmao.gif

^^^ I`d have to agree with him. We`ve been reamed here in SE Iowa this winter and im sure it wont make things easier. Its only a very slight pulse and you can only tell somethings wrong under "normal" or harder breaking. Mine is an 01 and do i need to take out the 2 screws on the rotor?

The reason i ask is because during my wheel bearing ordeal a few months back, i read on this forum that you need to use the outer threads on the rotor to pop them off (though i was unable to get them off), i damaged the inside threads and was not able to get one of the screws back on. Will this be a problem when installing new ones?
