D22 Front Disc Rotor Change

[gner8r]

Hi guys,

new to the forum here and Ive been looking around and its a place with a lot of knowledge and totally awesome.

i need to machine my rotors as the car has been siting for 6 months and the rust has build up on the rotor, but before i starting taking them apart the problem I having is where can i buy or get a hold of this tool the can remove the wheel bearing lock nut (Nissan tool number KV40105400)

it should look like this

or is there another way of removing this lock nut, i know it can be down with a center punch but the only fear i have is when you have to torque it back up

any help appreciated

Centre punch. If you're torqueing it up that hard when you reassemble that a centre punch isn't more than enough, you're setting the preload wrong.

Cold chisel/screwdriver and a hammer shouldn't be that tight

You can get them on ebay.
