Im upgrading my rear brakes, planning to use 2 piece rear rotors that slip over the flange instead of behind it.
My question is has anyone cut of the old rear rotors instead stripping the rear upright apart? They are going in the trash anyways.
Also Panteradoug if you are reading this I have been trying to PM you.

If I recall there is one spot you can knock the wheel studs out without interference to the hub then with the rotor free it should be possible to cut it in half. That said, unless you recently rebuilt the hubs with new bearings, I'd do the full rebuild.
Julian,
I recently mount new rear discs , but I dont believe there is a spot on the upright where you can knock out the wheel studs .
once I had a stud which not was locked into the splines , the stud goes further inwards by mounting the wheel.
from the backside I welded the stud .

Simon,
I think you are correct, I was likely confusing with the Ultima, where I had to do the same and tack weld the wheel studs.
Julian
Simon is correct there is no way to cut them off. Ended up stripping the upright down and pressing out.
