Brake Rotor Question
#11
side note: when you go to take the rotor bolts out, chances are they have RED Loctite on them
In the past I have used a small gas torch to heat the allen driver and insert that into the bolt to dissolve Loctite.

Here's a link from EBC that does a good job of explaining about floating rotors.

If the rotor is fixed rigidly in place by the buttons, it's no longer a floating rotor. The rotor does not expand inwards (shrink) when it gets hot.

Take that explanation with a strong sprinkling of salt. It's not written by an engineer, that's for sure. In fact that and this one (https://ebcbrakes.com/articles/sd-sy...-how-it-works/) are pretty clearly written by someone who doesn't understand physics or braking systems well.
