Well everyone last night I started to change my rotors and pads out. I got the front done with no problem, but when I got to the back thats when I started to have problems. How the hell do I get the back rotors off? They are like seriously welded to my axle cause I was hitting the back of it with a mallet and it wont come off. I released the emergency brake and everything I could think of to free the rotor. Nothing works. I have a job interview at 3 and my truck is not going anywhere until I get these back ones off and the new ones on. The pads were so bad it was metal to metal.

Thanks everyone.

 

I had the same problem with my 05, I had to get a 5lbs hand sledge and smash them off. I was a major pain in the ***.

 

Did you release the emergency brake? Like the spring loaded thing did you release it or no? Cause I did release it last night, but it didn't help. I'm just wondering cause I'm probably gonna go back out and hit the **** out of it with a mallet and still have that thing hooked up to it.

 

No I didnt, the rotors were rusted on. One rotor came off in pieces. I sprayed Liquid wrench on them and still had a hard time.

 

Yeah mine are rusted on from dropping the boat in the ocean and stuff.

Did you have the guard on behind the rotor as well?

 

Yes I do, I just kept spinning the rotor and hitting the top. It took me about 45 minutes on each side after I knew they were rusted on.
