Smear a little Antiseize on the mating surfaces on re-install to save time for whoever does it next.

use pb blaster and a BFH, then more pb blaster and more hits from a BFH, end with swear words

Lucky me mine are stuck on too.. I have one new hub here and when I go to do my next brake job it's just getting new hubs as well. I gotta replace the rotors, I'm going to Carbotech XP8's which need to be bedded . I'll save myself the hassle and pull everything to go into the scrap metal bin LOL.

FWIW I beat mine hard enough the wheel bearing squeaks now, and it laughed at me.

This always works for me. Spray behind the rotor with penetrating oil, then tap it with a rubber mallet. Then spray it again, and tap it again. Repeat as necessary, and you won't hurt your rotor. Then just use brake cleaner to get all the oil off. Surprised nobody mentioned that earlier :shrug:


BTW OP is your rotor still useable, or are you replacing it?

Yeah I bought new ones. The one I got off last night was so ****ed from me hitting it, it dosent even roll straight

Motto in the shop, if it doesn't come just get a bigger hammer and/or prybar and hit that bitch harder

 

[LitleWhiteSnake]

When I do finally pull mine, I'll put it on the lift and do a reverse Happy Gilmore running start swing..
