replacing s5 rotor
 
I started work on a complete brake tuneup for my 90 vert... so its a 4 piston.

But i wasn't able to get the rotor off the hub. Hanes didn't talk much about the rotors much, so i assume i was doing things correctly and its just rusted on. So before i take it to a machine shop and have it pressed off I'd like someone to tell me if i have to remove that centre aluminum piece or not.

success!
 
let it soak in wd-40 over night, then woke up angry as ever and gave it a few good whacks with the sledge hammer.

sorta destroyed the old rotor but the hub and lugs seem to be fine.

but it turns out that the centre aluminum part i was crying about is just part of the all-aluminum hub... crazy

-just in case anybody was interested:)

thanks anyway
