Difficulty removing rear rotors

[tremiles]

Is there any trick to removing the rear rotors other than using a BFH and letting some penetrating oil soak overnight? I quadruple checked the parking brake and even cycled it several times to verify that the lever was disengaging when the handle was all the way down. With a regular hammer and a block of wood to cushion the blow, my passenger side rotor just laughed at me.

BFsoftHammer.

Specifically a dead blow. Worked wonders for me.

Steel wool.. Use it to clean off the hub in front of the rotor. spray a lil pb blaster on it and as Hipo says use a soft dead blow and off they will come..

Take a propane torch and gently heat inside the circumference of the studs. Then whack the crap out of it with a deadblow hammer. Works like a charm.

Step 2 (a piece of 2x4 or other wood and regular hammer works as well)
Try to hit it from behind (lmao). Also, hit it equally around the rotor.

Step 3 (If needed)
Map gas for serious ventures.

Hopefully you don't have a large lip inside where the parking brake shoes sit. Had that happen to me. I had to close the rear adjusters to get the rotors off.

Some rotors had drilled and tapped holes in them and you could use a puller to remove them.

One of the favorite sayings at my shop, "Take the purse off your shoulder and hit that thing."
Sometimes it takes a full speed baseball style swing.

We always asked if they needed to change their tampon.

Ours was "My daughter swings like that too"

We always said "You don't have to treat it like it's your first time with a girl - give it to it good!!"

[00z28bubba]

hit it like it owes you money, hit it like a man, and put your man pants on before you swing.

If the BFH doesn't work...eat a can of spinach and try again.

Maybe an acute case granular vaginitis.
