    brake rotor remove

    Hello all I want to paint my rims on my 1983 gs750 and want to remove the brake rotors are they just pressed on after removing the bolts. I want to remove them but don't know if the will just slide back on. Thanks mike

    Yes, they'll just slide back on. They're a slightly tight fit, and if there's any corrosion they may be a little tighter, but it's a close slip fit, not a press fit.

      No they're not pressed on. Maybe a bit of corrosion keeping them on there. A few gentle taps with plastic mallet should loosen them up. If they're still stuck maybe some penetrating oil and let them sit a while.

        OK that is exactly what I wanted to know so take them off with a rubber mallet and the back on with one you think it will work

          it will work, and if you clean the parts and don't get paint on the rotor or the hub it will go on nice and smooth, some very very fine sandpaper to clean any crap off and you will be good to go...

              Should be sealed bearings. Just wipe the axle down and apply a thin film of fresh grease when you reinstall the wheel.

              I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

                If you haven't already, this would be a great time for new wheel bearings.
