Front Rotor and Pad Change

[Tobal]

Well its time for me to change my brake pads... I got myself a set of PowerStop Crossdrilled rotors and a set of Project Mu B-Force Pads. I was curious what size Socket i would need to remove that big bolt for the rotor? And also anything i should be aware of when doing this project?

Did you check the FAQ? See here.

The Big Bolt?? You did not mention front and/or rear. There is not really a "Big Bolt" to remove at either end though. You will need an impact screwdriver to remove the phillips screws holding the rotorsd on. $20 at Sears. The FAQ as Mark points out is a great place to start, also go here: http://www.danoland.com/nsxgarage/index.html for the ultimate in DIY procedures.

HTH,

Don't try to take the phillips screw out with an regular screwdriver, it will just strip. Get the impact hammer with phillips insert.

5 bux for impact screw driver. I used this without any issue. You might want to invest in torque wrench and such at this time to do the job right. Harbor freight has decent price on lower end torque wrech also.

I think the "big bolt" you are referring to is the axle nut. You do not need to remove the axle nut to replace the rotors.

The axle nut looks like this (it's the one in the middle of the picture):

And better yet, you won't even find a big axle nut to worry about anywhere near the front of the NSX!
