btw...

just for referance, this is a pucture of my rotors after i got them off. this is how much rotor has to be ground off if you get one rear caliper bolt off, and the other is how much you have to grind off to get it off if you can't get either rear caliper bolt off. and that is what warped front rotors look like, notice how thin near the inside center. just thought i would share, and colbolt drill bits are youre best friend for drilling these hardened bolts out. don't forget to use the cutting oil though, lol. that is all...later

edit, btw. notice the white on the inside of the front rotors. that is oxidation, had to use a press to get them off the hubs. but i tried beating one off, and destroyed the hub with it. lesson = don't beat the hell out of alum. w/sledge, haha

I am dreading doing the rear suspension and brakes on my car because I have a sneaking feeling that I am going to have a heck of a time getting the original rotors off.

the rears came off w/out a press, but did require some beating. it's the damn caliper bolts that pissed me off though. i had to spend about 30 bucks for new ones from mazda... 4 friggen bolts man.... stealership is right. now onto bushing replacement, lol. this is gonna be fun, i can just tell...
