[alfa] GTV brake rotor removal
Once again, I am hoping some you kind people will help...
I fought all afternoon with my GTV trying to remove the front rotor/hub
assembly with the goal of replacing the rotor, inner/outer bearings,
caliper and pads. No problem with the first steps: removed the
caliper, wheel cap, pin, nut, and outer bearing. Then, I tried to
remove the rotor. What a pain that was!!! I had to use a pry bar to
do it! I was under the impression that the inner bearing would also
come out with the rotor, and then I would have to remove it (the
bearing) on the bench. No such luck. The only was I managed to remove
the inner bearing was to cut it with my Dremel from the spindle! In
the process, I also ruined the seal, but at least that is a cheap part
to replace.
My question is, what is the proper/possible way of replacing the rotor
and bearing? I still have the other side to work on, so I want to do
that one right...
As always, thanks in advance
