Sonata mondata

It would take a real long bolt which I could not find at Lowes. I still don't see how it would work since the threads are part of the hub, not the rotor. If I could get a bolt long enough to bottom out it would just put force on the hub to come off with the rotor on the hub. I am sure the hub cannot come off like that.

Huh? OK, now I really need a picture of what you're looking at. The threads are in the rotor, not the hub. The huge nut in the middle holds the hub on. The rotor is not attached to the hub at all. The rim and brake caliper hold the rotor on the car.

Its the same screw this guy is trying to get out:


My screw came out with no issues as there was no rust. The threads are in the hub, so all this screw seems to do is hold the rotor in place without the caliper on. On the replacement rotor there is just a hole where the screw goes through.


First pic is where the black rubber grommet goes


Second pic is where that 6mm screw goes through. The threads are not on the rotor but in the hub


Here is the whole rotor

If you don't have one, get a rubber mallet. smack the back side of the rotor where the caliper was, then turn the rotor 1/4 turn and do it again. continue this until it breaks free. Make sure it's a rubber mallet and not a hammer.

I'd still like to see a pic of the car.

I'll get a pic of the car/rotor on the car when I try again to get the rotor off. I did use a rubber mallet on Saturday but I guess I'll try again with more "emphasis". I didn't hit it that hard since I wasn't sure I had removed all the elements holding the rotor on. I do appreciate your help.

Thanks

If the rubber mallet doesnt work out step up to a dead blow hammer.

My Accent is the same way, the threads are in the hub.

I have a dead blow hammer for this.
