screws in the hub

[clarion]

does anybody have any info about removing screws from the hub to install rims properly (17" motegi MR7)? :confused:

just pull them out....the rim does a good job of keeping the rotor on straight!

is it only in the front , i have a gls

Those are two bolts/screws that hold the rotor/hub/brake pad on during manufacturing. You can take them out so aftermarket wheels fit properly. Many people have done this and it's perfectly ok. The reason they are only in the front is because you have drum brakes in the back.

thanks alot so when i take my wheel off i sould see them with no problem they are not hidden right?

[only1db]

Yeah, like Super said, the only reason they are ther is to keep the rotors from falling off of the car while it's 30 ft in the air and hitting someone on the head. Don't worry about it. You shouldn't have any problem with the rear.
