Hyundai Repair: captive rotors, heavy hammer, rotors


Question
Are the front rotors captive on a 2001 hyundai tiberon?

Answer
No, the front rotors on the 2001 tiburon "slide" off after removing the wheel, caliper, and retaining bolts.  And by "slide," I mean that the use of a heavy hammer is required to break them loose off the hub.  In some severe cases, I've been unable to remove them without damaging the rotors.  Try either a heavy plastic or brass hammer before using something destructive.
