Hi all,
I've just finished putting new front rotors & bearings on my car. Haynes tells me to install the grease cap with a "soft faced hammer". OK - but should I really need to hit it dozens of times with all my might only to have it pop back off? These were really hard to remove in the first place, so I am suspecting more British understated humor. My next option is the torch and the gloves to try to heat it up enough to slip onto the rotor. Of course, if I do that, I will never get it off again. Help! |

It has been a few months for me as I opened a can of worms (new tie-rods, new brake lines, might as well do the master cylinder while I am in here, etc.). I think I ended up using a pair of vise-grips and a big honking screwdriver and a lot of elbow grease. Lot of luck. |
