Does anyone know where I can find detailed diagrams or a video that will show the effect that actually moving the controls of a helicopter has on it's rotors. Like, a video or diagrams that shows how the rotors change when the cyclic is pushed, or how the rotors change pitch when the collective is raised?Does anyone know where I can find diagrams or a video on how the rotors of helicopters react to controls?
I worte a book and used to teach this. Send me a private e-mail thru my web site and I will send you a copy of the book for free. I am always happy to help someone learn something in aviaiton.

Replacing rotors on a 2001 Dodge Neon?
For a couple of months, I was hearing a clicking noise in my front tire, as well as a thumping noise when I braked (could also be felt in the brake pedal, but stops the harder I push) Then one day I pulled into a parking lot, going over the curb, heard a loud thunk and pulled into a parking spot, where my car was stuck. I got out to look, and saw that my front pass. side tire was turned in. Took the car to the mechanic, and had to have both tie rod ends replaced. Since then, the thumping has gotten worse. My Dad believes that is sounds like a warped rotor. He had to replace his rotors on his old car (mid 80's Ford Tempo), and is willing to replace mine. My question is, does anybody know how hard it is to change rotors on a Dodge Neon? Is it anything like changing a rotor on an old Ford Tempo? He said it was really easy on that car, so we are hoping it is easy on my car as well.
Experienced answers only please. Thank You!Replacing rotors on a 2001 Dodge Neon?
If he did a brake job on his Ford, he could for it on the Neon. They are really simple!Replacing rotors on a 2001 Dodge Neon?
its not really all that hard
while hes under there make sure your c/v joints are in good shape to since these may have gotten damaged when tie rod ends went poopy on youReplacing rotors on a 2001 Dodge Neon?
i always say get a shop manual if working on ur car...best 15 u can spend...real money saver.....2 ,,most parts sites [advance,auto zone] have a do it urself section on line look there.Replacing rotors on a 2001 Dodge Neon?
I would have a pro check it out. The thumping sounds like something else in the front suspension.Replacing rotors on a 2001 Dodge Neon?
Pretty much the exact same procedure. Pull the tire, remove the caliper, remove the caliper hanger, and remove the rotors.

How do i change the rotors on my 1988?
how do change the rotors on my 1988 4x4 chevy blazer(big blazer). do i need to remove the thing that say free/lockHow do i change the rotors on my 1988?
you will need a 4 wheel drive axle nut socket on the gm it is a large 4 prong socket once you remove the locking mech with the 6 hex head screws the socket will remove the bearing retainer and the rotor will pull off. good luck and remember the order of the parts and clean off all the old grease.How do i change the rotors on my 1988?
hey Dallas
You are going to need to disassemble the hub, just take it a part, but don't mix them up because you are going to have to put it back the same way it comes out. then you will need a to take out the, I believe there is a snap ring, then you will need a special socket it's called a castle socket (it is a really big socket that is smooth on the sides and the bottom have two or three notches that fit on top of the nut) think it has been a while since I change my hub on my 88, Then it should slide right off. Try not to damage the axle threads when siding it off. Oh yea don't forget to take off the break calipers.
have a nice day....cya....emo hair hair designs

How often do rotors need to be changed?
I just got my front break pads and rotors changed Feb 23, 2009. How long before I need to change them again?How often do rotors need to be changed?
You do not have to have the rotors turned every time you install pads. Have them turned only if you go to far and the pads get metal on metal and cut into the rotors, or if you are braking and get a bad shaking in the steering wheel meaning your rotors are out of round and need turning. Other wise you can go a long time if you catch the pads in time and replace them listen for the sensors to start squealing and replace immediately. I am driving a 91 GMC 1500 series pick-up and have never had to change the rotors have resurfaced them once. It is stamped on the rotor what they can be resurfaced to and still be safe. So really a lot depends on you.How often do rotors need to be changed?
Typically, 36,000-40,000 miles. This depends on your driving habits, the environment you drive in, and the quality of the parts. Highway driving, of course, causes less brake wear. Do not go by mileage, or time alone. The only way to truly tell if pads or rotors need replacing is an inspection, or physically measuring the thickness of the items. If your brakes start making noise, or the car pulsates when you hit the pedal, take it in and have it checked out. A brake inspection is much cheaper than a full pad and rotor replacement. Another note depending on the amount of run-out or deviation in the face of the rotor, you can usually turn (true) rotors several times, just something to keep in mind for your next brake service.
Hope this helps.How often do rotors need to be changed?
Depend on how much you drive and what type of driving you do. Stop and go in the city will wear the brakes out faster than on the highway. Ideally you should get a couple of years out of a set of pads and it depends on the rotors you have but they should be able to be turned and last for 3 brake pad changes.How often do rotors need to be changed?
It depends on how you drive - mine go over 100K miles on the pads, rotors basically forever. Other people I know go through pads more than once per year, and rotors every other year.How often do rotors need to be changed?
You did not state the year of your vehicle so it is impossible to give you a meaningful answer.

How do you change the rotors on a 94 honda accord.?
I am looking to replace the brakes and the rotors on my 94 honda accord and need any help I can get.How do you change the rotors on a 94 honda accord.?
Honda rotors are bolted onto the hub, from the inside. You have to pull the cv shaft out of the hub end. The wheel bearing is a press fit. So you have to use a slide hammer to remove the hub from inside the bearing. Then you can unbolt the rotor and replace it. Then reinstall everything. I would suggest you take it to a shop and have it done.

How do I change the Rotors and Disc Breaks on a Ford Ghia myself and not going to a mechanic?
the basics are like this...
raise and support vehicle
remove tires
remove the caliper mounting bolts, lift caliper away from rotor being careful not to damage the brake fluid hose
remove brake pads from caliper
compress caliper piston
insert pads
reassemble unit
it's not that hard
get a manual
a worthy note though is caliper pistons made of steel tend to be reusable while plastic ones don'tHow do I change the Rotors and Disc Breaks on a Ford Ghia myself and not going to a mechanic?
simple, get a manual, follow instructions, job done. Should only need basic tools, socket set, screwdrivers etc, oh! and a jack and stands.

I have a 1994 honda accord lx and im am wanting to change the rotors and i was wondering how?
and im am wanting to change the rotors and i have disk on the front and drum brakes on the rear and what do you haftto do to change the drum brake into a rear disk brake?I have a 1994 honda accord lx and im am wanting to change the rotors and i was wondering how?
you only need the spindles/calipers/rotors, the control arms are the same except for the sway bar mounts. You will also need to use the ebrake cables since they are different lengths.I have a 1994 honda accord lx and im am wanting to change the rotors and i was wondering how?
to change rotor
jack up the car
remove the front wheels
remove two bolts behind the calipers and hang them loose
remove screws on the rotor then wobble it out
and install in new oneI have a 1994 honda accord lx and im am wanting to change the rotors and i was wondering how?
You'll need special brake tools, some big auto parts stores have free loaners.
You'll also need to turn the rotors and drums so there is no low or high spots. Some auto parts stores do this for free for buying the pads and shoes.
You'll need a micrometer to measure that there is enough metal on the rotors and brake drums. Again most auto parts stores can do this for free.
As for doing the brake job, I recommend buying the correct Chilton's manual for your car. It will give you step by step instructions and pictures. It will also give the correct minimum manufacturer specs to make sure the brakes will work correctly.I have a 1994 honda accord lx and im am wanting to change the rotors and i was wondering how?
By %26quot;Changing the rotors%26quot; do you mean your doing a brake job? To convert to Rear discs is not hard,You only have to replace the upper and lower control arms and the spindle assy on both sides.Why bother?,The OEM Drum is a great unit when working properly.By Google surfing you will be able to find all the parts for a nice job.Good LuckI have a 1994 honda accord lx and im am wanting to change the rotors and i was wondering how?
take it to les schwab and get it professionally done cost about $200 but u get like a 50,000 mile warranty so it might seem a lilttle costly but well worth than doing it yourself
