Default Jack Screw

Does anyone know off the top of their head what the thread size and pitch is for the jack screw hole on the rotors? If i recall correctly there are two pitch sizes for this thread size and I do not remeber which one it its.

You can just use the little bolt that mounts the brake line/ABS sensor line to the strut.

i wouldn't use the ABS bolt. it's soft metal and if your rotors are pretty well stuck, you will flatten the end of it and/or damage the thread.... speaking from experience.

Ok. I guess i can buy both M8x1.25 and M8x1 ans see which works. You would think they would use M8x1 since the thread engagement is deeper but who knows. Thanks for the help guys.

I've used it many times without issue, but I guess it can't hurt to go out and buy a dedicated bolt for that. You can also just whack the face of the rotor a couple times with a heavy rubber mallet and it'll come right off.
