thanks fellas. if i get any pics i'll post em fo sho

most dudes use expensive cars, clothes, and restaurants to get the ladies. i use a toolbox and some elbow grease.

thats what im hoping:fingersx:... that would significantly increase my chances of successfully replacing them, which will then have a direct effect on my chances with them titties.

yes definitely uncap FTW. capt'd rotors are a pretty shitty idea. design: "let's make a 4wd truck that's awesome offroad, great on gas, and tough as nails" management: "sounds excellent! but make it a total bitch to work on so they have to come back to us for repairs so we can squeeze as much...

bingo.

my nissan actually has separate rotors and hubs, but the hub must come off to get at the rotor. same principle as you described but they're actually two separate pieces. im going over to look at it after work, i was just hoping someone knew off the top of their head so i could call NAPA and...

meaning are the rotors inboard or outboard of the actual wheel hub assembly. i just had the rotors on my nissan replaced, they were 'captivated' (inboard of the hub assembly) whereas my buddy's passat has 'free' rotors that are outboard of the hub assembly and dont require disassembly of the hub...

can anyone tell me, off the top of their head, if an 01 suzuki grand vitara/geo tracker/chev tracker has free or captivated brake rotors? friend of mine has one that needs new rotors and i offered to do the work if they're not captivated. my chance to play with her boobs may or may not be...

....where did you say this was? ;)

oh ya one more thing... will i need a special tool to get those nuts off/on?

thanks for those drawings Zem. now i have something to show the dude at NAPA. and prove i'm not just making up parts.

haha thanks gmc. i hate the salt biggest waste of time, money, and materials if you ask me. its ruined most of my vehicles and its got a hell of a head start on me with my nissan.

ok here it is. the piece that the center cap is bolted to... what is it? i cant find this thing anywhere.

gotta be a tracker. let us know what you find out about it.

aha! the vehiCROSS (wtf? never heard that before) is what i was thinking of.

yeah i realized that after i posted it... my bad, i meant the other one. isuzu made 2 of those little buggies didnt they? the amigo (a shortened Rodeo with a removable top) and another, boxier one similar to the samurai... or maybe im thinking of the Trooper. but that was closer to a fullsize...

dave, i have no evidence to back this up, but i think you'd be better off finding an isuzu amigo or a suzuki samurai/sidekick. very similar little rigs but i hear they are much more reliable than the trackers. i think the amigo actually came with factory 31's.

not true semo, theres a shipyard bubba thats gotta be 400lbs who drives a tracker. he literally fills the interior, and balloons out of the windows. the whole thing leans hard to the driver's side, its frakkin hilarious. i laugh at him every time he drives by. then i remember, as fat as his...

geo prizms in the mid to late 90s were rebadged toyota corollas. fantastic cars. good luck finding one that hasnt been absolutely BEAT on though

i re-read some of my posts and they sound kinda arrogant, but i really do appreciate all the input from you guys.

for the record, im not being a dick, i just want to provide as much info as possible so yall can understand exactly whats goin on and chime in with help if you got any suggestions or whatever. update: i got the other caliper off, taking the pair back to NAPA tomorrow to get my 110 bucks back...

all set!

not working, but i see i may have to wait for something to run. i'll check back later.

well, 4 of the 6 came out witout any problems, other than excessive torque to back the rusted tips through the hub threads... which is another reason im thinking i'll just replace the whole hub. but i'd appreciate anything you find or have to share. thanks!
