Can't get the rear rotors off!
 

I can't get the rear break rotors to come off of my car. I tried banging the hell out of them. Anyone have some quick insight?:confused2:

Bang harder...

I used a heavy @ss rubber mallet on mine.

stupid question, but e-brake still engaged?

Loosen the e-brake shoes? PB blaster?

Mine rears were really fused. Had to get a long 2x4, propped it against the rotor, walked to the other side of the car, and beat on the 2x4 like it owed me money.

wow so they are usually pretty tough to get off I see!

a rubber mallet won't even get mine off . use like a iron hammer bang it like 3-4 times around the hats it will come loose ( dont hit the rotor it will mess it up)

you could try spraying some WD on it and let if sit for 5-20 min then try....

rinse under hot water :P , u sure u have unscrewed or loosened everything , double check, maybe the rear has another step to it

Banged like hell and got em off! thanks for the help guys!! :)

Ho-Lee-sh*t

this thing is pissing me off to no end. What did yo umake the 2X4 rest on?

I've loosened the shoe 15 clicks , used PB blaster and am sitting here banging with a hammer ... FRICK!

anyone got pix? I hate this crap

Prop it against the side that is towards the center of the car. I used a 2x4 about 6ft long. Walk to the other side of the car and hammer the opposite end. You'll have to put some muscle behind the wacks.

:bowrofl: I feel your pain. These are pretty hard to get off. I used a 14 lb. metal hammer and banged away, just be careful with the rotor.

try using a dead-weight mallet. it worked a lot better for me than a regular rubber mallet; there's no bounce back...

got the first one off after 50 min.... the second one took 15 min

frick
