Rotors stuck to the Hub

[bashmohandes]

I was trying to replace the rotors, they were stuck to the hub.
tried soaking in an anti rust then hammering from the back with no luck

any suggetions????

Hit them harder! lol. You won't be keeping them so don't worry about them. Just don't hurt yourself. :)

Do you own a rubber mallet?

[MajesticBlueNTO]

give it a donkey kick from the back if the rubber mallet doesn't work.

if that still doesn't work, very gently (and slowly) lower the car, with the lugs on about half way on the seized rim, until the weight over the wheel breaks the 'bond' between the rotor hub and wheel. when this happens, jack the car back up. *do not lower the car completely with the lugs loose*

[TheMAN]

hit the hub portion of the rotor with a sledge hammer and it'll break it loose

lol...I was going to suggest a sledge too but you need to be careful when it's on jack stands.

GO BIG OR GO HOME when things aren't working out with a little hammer. :chuckle

Or go to Agincourt...lol

Have a few beers, then use a rubber mallot. Have a buddy spot you incase you start to get too wild

Use a heavy hammer, hit the disc from the inside out, carefull not to hit the brake, lines, etc. Spin the rotor after each hit of the hammer a quarter turn, you will have to put the car in neutral. You really have to hit it hard, make sure the car is well supported. It will come off eventually.

You can buy/rent rotor pullers. If you do keep smacking the rotor with a hammer make sure you wear safety googles. Rotors are cast and can shatter, and you really don't want a chunk of that in your eye.

Mine were the same way, i just kept hitting them with a sledge hammer lol untill it came off. It took me and my dad rotating every 5 mins to get those god damn bent rotors off!!!! Good luck!!!!
