sdw96 Regular Date registered: Mar 2012 Location: MA, USA Vehicle(s): ‘15 G63, ‘19 BMW X7, 98 M3, 89 Grand Wagoneer Posts: 76 | Wrong Brake Rotors? The 2008 G500 needed new front rotors and pads. This job has turned out to be a lot more than bargained for. The bolts as everyone knows are put on by gorillas with loctite, and the rotors were so rusted on (thanks new england winters) they split when being hammered off and the local mechanic said take the sawsall to them, which worked nicely. All clean and ready to put new rotors on and the bolt that holds the rotor in place....the wholes don't match up. I go back to the brake warehouse site and they sent me (what they think) is the right part, and i checked a few others, tire rack. Centric rotor 120.35056 Apparently I'm an idiot and stuck in my driveway now. Can anyone tell me where I went wrong here and where I can get the correct ones quickly? Do I dare call the stealership and drive the 80 miles to them? That's the way this one has been going, ny help appreciated very much! Sanford | ||

Personally, I would distrust rotors from any source other than an MB dealer. Keep in mind that there are some MBUSA dealers selling parts on line at a big discount and no sales tax, if you're not in North Carolina. | ||

Call Euro Truck Importers and get the Zimmermann rotors which are the OEM supplier to MB for the G. And yes, they are made in Germany. Edited by H1LM002G55 8/25/2016 9:25 AM | ||

I would just try those rotors without the screws. You are probably going to be fine for a couple years. Next time get the OEM parts | ||

The only dumb thing is I wonder what website you ordered these off of??? It is mentioned many times who the G-vendors and forum supporters are. They could have prevented this problem ahead of time. Also, your mechanic should have used some Aero-Kroil for the stuck bolts...buy him some online. | ||
