Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance Rear Rotor Removal

I was recently changing my struts on the rear right tire, which went good enough. As I was tightening the tires however, I managed to break off 3 out of the 5 wheel studs for that tire :S I got the replacement studs from a mechanic and tried to replace them as it seemed to be a simple enough job. The problem I had was I could not remove what I think is the rotor! Im not sure which bolts I need to remove because there is no brake caliper on the rear tires. I want to fix it this weekend as I need my car to get to work and am too scared to drive it anywhere If anybody could provide any advice it would be very appreciated!

could this be useful?

I have seen this page already and is great for replacing the actual studs, the problem I am having is removing the caliper and rotor like it says to do.

how about the other one, just below it?

the second link seems to be for the GTS. Though, you have a GT, with drum brakes, correct?

two more links for you, from the shop manuals:

i hope they these can help get you going in the right direction

Ive just skimmed through them and they actually have pointed my in the right direction of what I need to do! There is two little holes by the studs where I can insert small bolts to push the drum out. I will try this out tomorrow!

I have just tried to use the two holes on the front of the hub to unscrew it. I used a 5/16 size bolt which I think is the equivalent of the M8 x 2 that I read was necessary. It seemed like it was working at first but the hole quickly became bigger than the bolt which is weird because I didnt screw it very far at all! So now im back to square one and am not sure how to proceed. I am thinking about carefully drilling the whole to make it bigger and give it some threads because I dont see any. Any thoughts?
