Removing Stuck Rotors
Posted by Chris Ault - http://saabnet.com/tsn/forms/e.php3?e (more from Chris Ault - http://saabnet.com/tsn/forms/e.php3?e) on Sat, 31 May 2003 12:28:03

I'm looking for helpful hints on how to remove the brake rotor from the hub,
when it's seized on by rust and time.

It was easy to remove the pads, caliper, and securing screw but I can't get
the rotor to budge. I hesitantly added some heat (didn't want to melt any
rubber nearby or burn out the grease in the bearing) and I'm afraid a good
hard whack will damage the hub, axle, abs sensor, sprint, shock, etc. etc.
Moderate whacking with a 2lb hammer has not yet persuaded it to budge.

Suggestions? I hate having to resort to the mechanic when I'm this far along.

Thanks,
-chris
