I had one of the screws work loose that holds the caliper bracket in place. In order to get to it, the rotor has to be removed. To remove the rotor the grease cap must be removed from the wheel hub/disc to get at the castellated nut. I have removed grease caps many, many times on other vehicles, but this one is a different story. Typically a screw driver and hammer or water pump pliers will do the trick, but not with this one. This baby is on there and I can't get it to budge! What's the secret to getting this sucker off????

Any suggestions or prior experience? Thanks in advance!

Phil I it has threads. Unscrew it.
I just had to tighten one of my hubs up for AutoX.

Oh-oh.... screws, huh? Thanks Tony, that explains it. Counter clockwise to loosen?
