Default Effin stuck rotor, what size are those little holes?

Those little holes near the hub on the rotor to put in a small bolt to push the rotor off, is that a M8x1.25??


^pic of a TL I found from google.

I think they were M10x1.25 the last time I took off my rotors. It may vary from brand to brand though.

i was afraid of that. I really don't want to have to deal with friggin R1 Concepts customer service again. I may just buy M6, M8, M10, M12 x 1.25 and see which one fits

Errr...I'd rather not beat it with a mallet if I can screw a bolt in and pop out. If I have to resort to this, I will though

One of the caliper screws from the front or rear should fit it.

Small - Medium ball peen hammer. Wail away - alternate opposite sides. Never had a problem with that.

I'll go double check if anyone needs, but just goto your local hardware store and pick up an assortment of metric bolts. It doesn't cost much and its good to have a few extra ones laying around anyways.
