alphatarget1 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 WTF! I was trying to get it off so I can replace the rotor... now it looks like I'll have to drive/tow it to the shop to have them drill out what's left in the threads. This is not cool.

devobuzz Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Wow - that's hard to believe. Those bolts should be high grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetiger Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 this actually happens kinda often on subarus. mostly in the rear though. the boltsd are made of recycled tin cans it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilT Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 Yup, happened to me too. A complete lack of antiseize when the car was assembled is to blame. Double Award Winning Legacy GT Wagon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphatarget1 Posted August 17, 2009 Author Share Posted August 17, 2009 Do y'all know how much it usually costs to have one removed? I'll probably tell the shop to buy all new bolts for it, maybe even like a caliper hardware kit. Or I can buy a set from rockauto and do it myself once they get the rotors in. Unexpected expenses = lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
