#113118 BUDS22 (User) I'M RIDIN' MY DREAM Fresh Boarder Posts: 71 FRONT DISC ROTORS? 3 Months, 1 Week ago   HEY ALL, I AM LOOKING TO TRY TO POLISH THE FRONT ROTORS....I WAS WONDERING IF ANYONE OUT THERE KNOWS IF THE TWO PARTS OF THE DISC CAN BE SEPARATED AND BE PUT BACK TOGETHER.IT WOULD BE A LOT EASIER TO POLISH THEM IF THEY WERE IN TWO PIECES. I'D APPRECIATE ANY FEEDBACK FROM THE FORUM. THANKS AS USUAL, BUDS22   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #113122 slyguy (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 1174 Re:FRONT DISC ROTORS? 3 Months, 1 Week ago   they are separate rotors, perhaps I don't understand your question. Are you asking how to remove the rotors?   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #113179 BUDS22 (User) I'M RIDIN' MY DREAM Fresh Boarder Posts: 71 Re:FRONT DISC ROTORS? 3 Months ago   HI SLY, WHAT I'M TRYING TO FIND OUT IS, CAN YOU SEPARATE THE OUTER DISC FROM THE INNER DISC. THEY ARE HELD TOGETHER WITH THOSE ROUND CLIPS THAT SEEM TO BE TWO PIECES THAT ARE MASHED TOGETHER THAT ARE LOCATED BETWEEN THE OUTER DISC AND THE INNER ONE. I'VE BEEN LOOKING AROUND THE INTERNET BUT CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE ANSWER.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1548 Re:FRONT DISC ROTORS? 3 Months ago   Not sure my jelly head is getting the question either, but I checked the parts exploded view, and it looks like each rotor, one on each side of the wheel is a single assembly. So two rotors that do not come in pieces but can be removed from the bike separately. Hope that helps.   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #113195 BUDS22 (User) I'M RIDIN' MY DREAM Fresh Boarder Posts: 71 Re:FRONT DISC ROTORS? 3 Months ago   HEY AGAIN, I AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THEY CAN BE SEPARATED. EACH DISC IS A TWO PART ASSEMBLY,HELD TOGETHER BY THOSE ROUND CLIPS AT SIX LOCATIONS. I BELIEVE THESE DISC'S ARE WHY THEY CALL THESE ROTORS AND THE CALIPERS FLOATING DISC BRAKES? I'M AM TRYING TO FIND OUT IF THEY COME APART.

Ive never heard of someone taking the two apart..   Logged     www.factoryphoto.com   The administrator has disabled public write access. #113267 bthomas (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 259 Re:FRONT DISC ROTORS? 3 Months ago   It looks to me like the "clips" you mention are pressed in by a machine to lock the two pieces together. Almost like a rivet, I guess. It doesn't look like the two can be separated and put back together. That's my .02 anyway.

I've polished 4 discs and it's not that big of a deal to do them when together. If you still want to separate them I think I saw a place where you could buy the connectors .... just don't ask me where.

WHEN POLISHING AROUND THOSE 6 CLIPS, WHAT DID YOU USE TO REMOVE THE GRAY COATING? I'M HAVING A TOUGH TIME GETTING REAL CLOSE AROUND THE EDGES. I SEND A THANKS FOR ANY INFO!!

When the paper is new and the edges sharp you can get quite close. Then finish off with a sanding disc with the dremmel. Light pressure with the dremel and it move around or you'll 'score' the metal sot that when you polish it you notice 'divets'.
