Okay, so today I got in my new brakes, they were the ones Josh was selling. Needless to say I went to putting them on right away and ran into a problem right away. I can't get the rear rotors off and I can't find a bolt the right size to thread into the two gear puller holes. I've tried 8x1.00 and 8.1.25 and neither seemed to be quite right. I also tried some standards and none of them seemed right and would thread in. I'm currently searching the bbs but if anyone knows off the top of their head what size I need I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

Okay I found a post were Vikash says it's a 8x1.25 so I'm going to give it a shot again. The rotor spins with no problem and I have the whole back end up with the ebrake off. Hopefully just hold and a little rusty. It would be cool if someone could confirm the 8x1.25 and I'll keep you all posted.

I've used a standard size that came with a cheap puller I bought, but I don't know what the size was. The thread wasn't quite prefect, but it doesn't matter when you're tossing the rotors anyway.

Yeah, I used a puller set.....i don't know the bolt size.

If you don't plan to keep/re-use the rotors, just bang on the back with a hammer. You can tap the hub portion of the rotor to help dislodge things......that won't really damage the rotor.

Well it was definately 8x1.25mm. Once I threaded it in and through the rust it just pushed the rotor right off and they threaded out likety split. The other side just about fell off into my hands. I've got the new rotors on and the rears bled. I'm going to do the whole system once the rain stops, yeah it decided to rain tonight out of the whole week, it was worth it. I haven't tried them out much yet but will a little later. I'll keep you posted .
