I need some help asap. I'm a little embarrassed to ask for help on something that should be very simple.

So earlier I changed out 3 of my 4 wheels/ tires on my A4 without any issues... until I got to the 4th one. Notice in the picture below the lug holes dont go through. Wtf can I do to line them back up? I can turn the center a tiny bit, but not enough to line up the holes again.



Any suggestions? I'm wheel-less right now. :/

 

just spin your rotor... then when putting the wheel back on, hold one of the lug bolts in thwheels so it lines up easier... or you can just stick an extension or something thru so that they dont slip outta place again... or have a friend hold your brake down while you do it... Fvck audi for using lug bolts instead of nuts.

 

I forgot to mention the rotor wont rotate at all. The other 3 did just fine. I'll go give it another go.

 

pry the caliper open a lil with a flathead... and wiggle the rotor in and out a bit... it should break loose

 

what's the motivation behind that, anyway? seems silly to me...

 

It won't budge

I don't even know how this happened...

 

So try spraying it down with some WD-40. I know spraying lube on your brakes seems dumb, but it'll dry fast. Also try moving the caliper out of the way. You could also get a screw driver or something similar and try to pound the rotor back into place with a hammer.

 

Thanks for the tips guys, but the thing isn't spinning at all. I can tell it is more loose than it was but it's not cooperating. I'm at the point where I'm afraid something will break.

My problem now is that I obviously can't bring it anywhere for help.

 

are both sides of the car off the ground? both sides of the car need to be off the ground for it to spin and the car needs to be in neutral. dont put lube on it!!!! if you do, spray the **** out of it with brake cleaner.

 

Oh well that make sense. Both sides are not off the ground, since all I have is the little jack that came with the car. It's way to dark to do anything now, but I'll try tomorrow.

Too late with the lube.
