Hey guys, just as the titile says.

Im doing a brake conversion, fronts are done but rears are being a pain. Dont normally do things cars but if its just nuts and bolts I usually figure things out as I go along.

I have R34 spec calipers and rotors and using Just japs 5 stud hubs, Yes I have done endless hours of searching but none of the other threads never mentioned this being a problem.

At the moment Im not too sure on how to get the rear hubs out. Picture to what I want off is here;

Now Yes this may be a stupid question, but it doesnt seem to just want to pull off. I have tried with a fair bit of force but I didnt want to break anything just in case I have missed something. Is it just stuck on the bearing or what?

I have looked at the back and can see a few bolts, Now which bolts if any are holding it in? I took a picture a few months ago

These pics are a few months old so cant exactly remember how many there are or what not. I believe theres 4 of the red ones though.

(I took these pics a few months ago so cant quite remember how many there were or what not.) Or do I just have to pull harder? Is there any hints/tricks to get these things off?

Any Help would be much appreciated.

Just want to get it done as driving around with mismatched rims isnt exactly a good idea :( Ive been lucky so far with the cops but dont want to push my luck.

Cheers guys. :(

    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
    • Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5
    • Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
    • You would need to paint your hardtop again though
