Emery Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Took off rear caliper and shoe bracket but rotor won't come off. Have banged but no budge. Is it stuck or secured somehow? Factory manual does not address removal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrous1 Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 I just did my rear rotors a few months ago. Once you remove the caliper bracket - there is nothing else holding them on as I recall. If yours wont budge then you need a bigger hammer. The rotor is most likely rusted to the hub. Good luck!

CadiKing Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 Have you tried a penetrant? You most likely have rust around the hub. Better to chemically lossen it up than beat the Heck out of it..No? I f all else fails I would warm it up good with an acelelyne torch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimD Posted November 19, 2004 Report Share Posted November 19, 2004 I hesitated to even mention this super simple thing, but; did you remove the 'assembly line' push-on retainers from the wheel studs ??? Unlikely that you forgot them since you got as far as you did but you never know.... Jim Drive your car. Use your cell phone. CHOOSE ONE ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
