What happens here

Position the vehicle for repair by safely jacking up the rear of the Cadillac Escalade. Use a DeWalt impact gun or a lug wrench to remove the lug nuts, and then carefully take off the rear wheel. Next, unbolt and remove the hub-centric wheel spacer, which is designed to ensure proper wheel alignment. Once the spacer is off, the damaged brake rotor can be detached from the hub, revealing the extent of the cracking. The driver notes that using anti-seize when first building the car made removal easy.

Goal: Safely remove the damaged brake rotor and associated components from the vehicle.

i trust you and it's here i do run wheel spaces on here but they are the hub centric kind and these are very dense like they're the expensive ones because i had ones on here i had before were not hub centric they were just the tb bay ones the aluminum machine balloons and i actually cracked them in half so you what you pay for if you're gonna reel spaces on a high horsepower car i'd really recommend these dance hub centric ones and it's on
