    Rear Brake rotors

    I'm wondering if anyone else has had problems removing the rear rotors.
    I think they are just rusted on but I want see if anyone knows any tricks on getting these damn things off.

    thanks.

    that rear screw to hold it on.....take that out.
    big fucking hammer.
    done.

    btw, one of mine was ready stuck on. bashing it with a rubber mallet solved it.

      Dude, I've been bashing.
      They still don't want to come off.

        um, I'm pretty sure I didn't think it was coming off.....it came up a little and I tried pulling and it seemed stuck. talked to some friends online and didn't think it was coming off.

        fucking bashed it some more. came off. you need to get a bigger hammer.

          BIG FUCKING HAMMER, just pound, pound all around the hub, then around the friction zone, then there's a hole in the dust shield on one side on the back, give it a pound through there and repeat. it works, make sure the set screw is out though.

            Unless you parking brake shoes are realy shot and have worn a Grove into them, But Just bash, or try to adjust the parking brake shoes to bring them in closer to the center of the hub.

                  I used a airhammer to pull the rotors of my parts car, but it was sitting in a field for a while :o

                      I've used aerosol penetrating oil to brake 'em free. Just make sure you clean them well afterwards.

                        Screw that.
                        I used them as frisby's after I got them off.

                        Until I realized they were heavy as hell and would never catch lift.
                        So they found a new home in the dumpster.
