Subject: Stubborn Front Brake Rotor


Hi, I'm doing rotors and pads on a 1999, 9-3, manual. The passenger side worked like a charm, everything came off nicely and went back together in no time. The driver side however is proving to be quite a dog. First, the screw holding the rotor would not come off. I lubed it, tapped it, used a manual impact wrench with the proper 5mm torx, would not budge. So I went the drilling way. The first half broke, so there's a piece left in the hub. !nospam However, I thought I'll deal with it once the rotor is off. Again, taped it with a 2.5lbs hammer (wood block used), had a 3 gear puller on it, to keep it under a bit of tension etc., it would not move at all. I'm considering, drilling a small hole in the left half of the rotor screw and try a screw extractor. Then maybe warm the disk up with a torch and try hammering out again. What do you guys think? Many thanks, Ben
