No... the hole is tapped in the rotor itself, not the hub behind it.Originally Posted by Inyong1988

There is no bolt hole in the hub.
The bolt has nothing to do with the rotor.
It's only a wheel rejection bolt.
But yes you are correct, it can be safely removed.

actually you are wrong about securing the rotor. the bolt screws in to the rotor and thats it. Originally Posted by Inyong1988

you could say the caliper and brake pads secure it. and MAYBE even the wheel and lug nuts...lol
But that bolt was installed to only prevent the rear wheels being installed

I think all Nissan rotors have those holes (the G being the only one i've seen with the bolt). Would be nice if they had similar holes for the rears. It would make rotor replacement so much easier!

wow and I thought mine we're pretty rusted as it is. I live right by the sea as well so we get a lot of salt from there. the bottom of the car is rusted pretty bad, but I guess you guys have it worse. Especially with all the snow nowOriginally Posted by kregg
being on a sand dune prolly helps the hat from rusting on the hub face. 1 yr in well salted central NY winters makes this bolt needed for rotor removal. Consider yourself and your undercarriage lucky
