  1. Hello. I purchased my 2004 Matrix XRS new in 2004 and have 115,000 km. I recently moved from the city to rural area with gravel roads. I love my car and would prefer to keep it, but it is not loving the deep gravel, mud and snow conditions that exist in the country. Any suggestions to lift it up a bit to clear the gravel and improve vehicle control? I have 17” low profile tires currently, so thinking different/ larger tires as a start? Other suggestions? Thanks!
  2. I have a 2004 Toyota Corolla LE that I am attempting to replace the front rotors. according to everything I have seen the rotors do not require the removal of the "Hub nut", The rotor should simply slide off. I have not been able to make this happen. I have used penetrating oil, Tapped on the rotor with a mallet and attempted to use a 5 ton gear puller. Nothing even makes it budge a little. I have not attempted to max the pressure on the gear puller as I am afraid I will really mess something up. In my opinion, the pressure I have exerted would have caused anything that might have given to give if it was ever supposed to give. There are no holes in the current rotors other than the ones for the "Hub" and the 5 lug nuts. I have rechecked this multiple times. There are no holes that have been filled in by anything (rust, grease ETC). Taking another look at the "Hub Nut" it would appear that it does have to be removed for the rotor to be removed. but there is an indentation in the hub and the sleeve on the nut has been bent into that indentation so the nut cannot loosen up (See pictures) Has anyone ever seen anything like this and does anyone have any suggestions? I am at a loss. Update, after much research I have found multiple other people who thought the same thing I did. It turned out they were wrong and I guess I am too. Several managed to get the rotors off by using bolts, washers and nuts to go through the caliper mounting bolt holes on the back side of the rotor and push on the rotor. I am going to give that a try next. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
