the little bolt thingy there between the studs. what is its purpose. its only on the front brakes not the back. i bought some rims and cant get them on cause of it. what do i do?

 

It is on there so you don't put your back tires on your front hubs (presumably dealer workers are so lame, it's a possibility), take it off and pitch it in the round file.

Are you talking about the bolt that looks to be holding/snugging up the rotors between the lug bolts?

 

I work at classic nissan in orlando. Its so that johnnys tire rotation shop down the street from us doesnt try to put your rear tires on the front. Just get a 14mm wrench I believe, it might be a 12, and take it off and then mount your new rims on.

 

yes stein

 

bleufiend nothing will happen if i take it off right

 

NO

 

I seen your post prior to you correcting the images and thought I would try to make it clear to others. Anyways, sounds like you have your answer, toss it!

 

thanks fellas

 

Aww...party poopers. I always about to give the newb a hard time too...


"You got the un-moddable Z bro...can't put wheels on this one."

 

Also !!!!!!!!! If u are trying to get ur rotor off and its froze in place with rust or whatever---U can put a longer bolt in there and tighten it down---It acts like a press and pops ur rotor off

 

No, nothing will happen if you take that bolt out and yes if the rotor is froze to the hub by way of rust because of aging you can use a longer bolt of the same thread pitch to force it off if rapping on the inner part of the rotor with a hammer doesnt persuade it to come loose.

 

 

I had some noob love ready too...

Too bad I missed this one earlier.

 

You guys are cruel...Dont listen to them JDub...If you remove that bolt the whole front caliper and wheel hub assembly will come apart....Its there for a reason....Next time do a search before you trust these fools

 

Hope ur not serious---Theres a guy in Wheels and Brakes right now askin the same question

 

Taking it off will reduce drag (increase 2-3 mpgs) and you'll gain 1-3hp.

 

That is for JDM wheels with 6 holes. Honest.

 

lol u guys are full of ****

 

well they havent fallin off. what you guys think?
