Re: Rotor stuck to hub

Yeah, not too much though. I have classes all day today until like 9 tonight and work will be slower than shit tomorrow so I will have some time to fuck with it then and see what happens. Hopefully the bolt technique will work.

Re: Rotor stuck to hub

Happend with my dads rotors when i replaced them while i was in town last. Smacked it for a while, then it just Ended up just needing a super hard hit of the hammer (i used a regular hammer because i hate being able to hear ).
I Used PB while tapping on it, then let that sit and moved to the other one, pb'd it while tapping. Then went in and ate some lunch. Came out fully energized gave it 3 or 4 super hard smacks and it popped off.

Re: Rotor stuck to hub

The front rotors on my 2gnt were rusted on to the Nth degree. It took a 15lb sledge hammer swinging at full power for over 20 minutes per side to finally get them off. Chunks of rotor were flying off at high velocity as I was doing this... very fortunate they even came off at all. I. HATE. RUST.

How many fucking times did I say I am hitting it as hard as I can? I broke the fucking rotor and it still hasn't budged. I am not the only one this has ever happened to.

Ya some people just don't get it when you say it doesn't move.

Did you ever get it off?

Re: Rotor stuck to hub

Not yet, haven't had time to dick with it here the past week or so. I have some bolts that are long enough now to push them off. Hopefully tues I will have some time to do it. Not like the thing is going to move until next spring anyway. I just wanted to double check if my wheels were actually going to fit.

Re: Rotor stuck to hub

Don't kill yourself or your car using that super duper sledge hammer... use the bolt technique.
