Size of brake rotor bolt?

[pigvet]

Hi, is there a bolt that is used to push the rotor off the wheel hub on 2010 Mazda 5? If yes, what's the size? Thanks!

I doubt it. Is yours stuck? If so, just hit it with a BFH, which works 90+% of the time.

For that last 10% where pure brute force won't get them off, an OTC Grappler will do the job. You can usually rent one from most parts stores that rent tools.

I just used a 5lb hammer around the rotor to break it loose.

Just did the brakes this morning, no bolt used to take off rotor. Spray liquid wrench or whatever penetrant around where rotor meets axle, wait, knock rotor off gently with your favorite blow hammer.

Thanks! Plan to do this weekend.
