I guess I skipped over learning this set in the tutorial, www.matthewsvolvosite.com/suspension-tires-wheels-brakes-brake-pad-and-rotor-job-checklist/ , what is the strut mounting bracket?

Thanks

I'm not sure what he's talking about in reference to the "strut mounting bracket," but if you remove these two bolts, the caliper mount will come off and you can remove the brake disc.

ok I got the bracket thing off, or so I assume that is the bracket and the pin/bolt off. Now what?

It think the rotor may be rusted to the car. What next?

thanks, Vegas. I got that off now. and then the little pin. Then what? What if the rotor is rusted to the car?

Thanks

Apply PB Blaster to the hub, then smack the disc from the back with a steel hammer.

hub. right in the middle on the rotor? In the red and blue or just the blue?

If you are replacing the rotors anyway take a 5 lb sledge hammer and beat it into submission.

I believe this procedure is the same for your car: https://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums ... 0801#50801

K, the rear rotors are different from anything I've seen on this website. I took off a couple bolt off the back of the caliper but there is a metal hose that is inhibiting its mobility. Anyone have any suggestions.... cough.Lee!cough
