    you failed to mention the year, make, and model of the car...I'm guessing make is honda since you went to the Honda dealership...

    ^No I don't. It says you location right under your join date.

    keep up? It's a 2.4L that weighs almost as much as my truck. lol Also, accelerating has nothing to do with your brakes unless you are doing it in unsafe conditions where you are slamming on your brakes all the time.

    Puddin-look, no1 can answer your damn question b/c you havent given us a make, model, year, front, rears, which part? Caliper? Bracket? hose? Wheel? Master cylinder? I own a shop and I have no idea what you are trying to describe.

    1. I am clam.

    2. It's ROTOR.

    But I still have no idea what your trying to say. You can't get the caliper off? Caliper bracket off? or the actual rotor? FRONT OR REAR?

    Can you take a picture of the dilemma? I think you're referring to an impact screwdriver.

    On the Rx-7's rear and Protege's front, Mazda requires you use a special tool to open the caliper and push the piston in, that's the only special break tool I know of.

    ^^ Yeah, I drew a frame of a man running on each fan blade. That is him running at idle

    the only thing i could think of you needing to get the rotor off is if it's a pressed on rotor. then you'll need a 3 jaw puller to remove them.


    3 jaw puller can be found in pretty much any auto parts store.

    there is no need for an impact screwdriver for rotor dismounting.

    the hub screw does not need to be touched.

    Screwdriver, not wrench. Like she unclearly mentioned, they are not floating rotors, yet it is a Honda, which leads me to assume she can't remove the two screws holding in the rotor. I'm not saying I'm right. Just trying to help her with what little information she is giving.

    There would be if there are 2 screws through the rotor holding it on. After 3 brake jobs though they should be toast.
