Hello!

I try this again because i think you call i "rotors" and not discs! Is that right? Anyway i hope you understand my problem and can give me some hints.


I live in sweden and own a 98 neon. I need to replace the rear discs but i cant remove the old ones. It seems like the handbrake pads is to tight and i cant find the adjustment for the handbrakes. I have ordered a rapairmanual but i takes some time before i get it so i would be glad if anyone could help me with some hints.

Regards
Mats

 

You don't have the parking brake on do you?

 

thats what i just put in the last one.....my first r/t had rear disc brakes.....took me almost 2 hours of beating on them with a small sledge to realize they werent gonna come off with the e-brake on.....took off the ebrake and they came right off

 

Hi

No the handbrake is released so that is not the problem. The wheels are easy to rotate.

beat it with a hammer then since your replacing them anyways

 

With a BFH if needed.

 

use a 3 pound mini-maul

 

Hi!

Problem solved! Just needed a little more violence as u guys said! A little heavier beating while rotating the disc worked fine. Now there are new rotors and pads on the car.

 

Got any pics of the shiny new rotors?

 

never underestimate the hammer....it will actually help get alot of parts off the neons
