Changing brake pads on a 1991 laser i gopt the brakes off and the disc/rotar thing was loose?

and just came off how does the rotar go back on without being loose or is it ok just to put back onChanging brake pads on a 1991 laser i gopt the brakes off and the disc/rotar thing was loose?
This is normal,when you reinstall the pad's just push it back into place

install the pad's the wheel,AKA the rim is what holds the rotor's in place when you tighten the lug nut's. Good luck.Changing brake pads on a 1991 laser i gopt the brakes off and the disc/rotar thing was loose?
Put it back on just like you took it off. Tip when you go to put the new shoes on you will need a C clamp to help you push the piston in make sure that the piston goes as far as it can go. Then put back on rotor tighten the two bolts. then do the same to the other side. when don check your break fluid. top off if needed.Changing brake pads on a 1991 laser i gopt the brakes off and the disc/rotar thing was loose?
The rotor is held on by the wheel when it is put back on and the combination of the brake pads and caliper. your ok no problems that i see.

have fun and tighten everything and use antiseize on all sliders.Changing brake pads on a 1991 laser i gopt the brakes off and the disc/rotar thing was loose?
the rotor in some cars is held on by two little screws on others its held in place by the tire rim and bolts

no worrys just slap it on there but wait did you get them resurfaced you should since you replaced the pads..Changing brake pads on a 1991 laser i gopt the brakes off and the disc/rotar thing was loose?
I think on those cars the lug nuts hold everything together everything should be fineChanging brake pads on a 1991 laser i gopt the brakes off and the disc/rotar thing was loose?
It's supposed to be loose.. The caliper and pads hold it tight along with your wheel being pressed against it.Changing brake pads on a 1991 laser i gopt the brakes off and the disc/rotar thing was loose?
your caliper holds the rotor on, on some cars, best thing to do is look in the maintenance manual hope that helps,
