Help With Rear Axle Nuts - Orange County, CA | The De Tomaso Forums

dave2811Member

I am in the process of replacing the brakes, and have come face to face with the rear axle nuts and need to press out the wheel studs just to get the damn rotors off.

Is there anyone in the Orange County area that has the special socket and the capability to help me remove the rotors ? I have already removed the hub carriers and can travel. There might be a 6 pack of your favorite malted beverage in it for you

I can help if you can't find someone closer. I'm in Murrieta.

Thanks for the offer, but I have Jerry at PIM on the case. It turns out there is more to the swap than some heavy torquing.
