'01 Front Rotor Question

You said your front rotors were "11 inches or so". Is it possible that they were 11.25"? Just curious. I have found a site saying that the Zimmerman replacement rotors for the '02 are either 285 (11.25") or 305mm (11-7/8 or 12"). Most of the descriptions I have seen say 280 (11") or 305mm so I am getting confused.

I bought my rotors from fcp a few months ago for my 00 v70xc. Front rotors were brembo, the rear I had some trouble with scott at fcp he gave me the wrong size rotors and had to go back and get the right ones, so far no problems I get a lot of brake dust, ppl tell me cause the pads are oem, and aftermarket leaves very little dust.

Hi, I just joined this forum, looking for info on doing a brake job on my 2000 V70XC. Lot's of great info.
I just ordered from FCP Gorton: front rotors (Zimmerman), rear rotors (OEM), and pads all around (Mintex). I wanted to get everything from one supplier, and they only had OEM rotors for the rear that fit my car.

I do have one question - when I took the rear wheel off to measure the rotor I noticed there is a single nut in the center of the rotor to remove, anyone know what size that is? I have a 15/16 socket and that was too small, so it's got to be an inch or more (more likely metric, right). Are there any other special tools needed to remove the rear rotors?

I hope these parts come within a week, as I am overdue for my 90k service and I want to get the brakes done myself before I take it in.

Should be a 10mm nut. Brembo OEM replacement rear rotors come with new fixing screws. The replacement screws are allen hex head.
