LumiDriver Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 I was thinking that my car took a different sized rotor than the one the police station had put on. I put the same size on...and well, called the dealership today. Turns out, my car takes the 11 1/4 rotors instead of the 10 1/2" rotors. So I've been killing brake pads outta nowhere..Time for mom to loan me more money...I need new rotors...At least I didn't put the other one on yet Quote
slick Posted August 18, 2006 Report Posted August 18, 2006 Cool, sounds like you have the 1.5 gen stuff. Quote

LumiDriver Posted August 18, 2006 Author Report Posted August 18, 2006 I got my car from my stepdad's police station that he works at. Quote

LumiDriver Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Posted August 19, 2006 Remember a while back before the forum changed over...and I posted a picture...it was carved. My mom is going to loan me the money to get the new rotors. I just can't get the passenger side off....Broke 2 tools trying. Quote

DiscoStudd Posted August 19, 2006 Report Posted August 19, 2006 Time to get out the grinder! I had to slice the shit out of one of the caliper brackets on my old 96 Loomie when I couldn't get the bolts off. Fortunately, you can use a caliper bracket from any 1st Gen W-Body (either side as well) ... Quote
