rotors

you need a bfh and a bf gear pullers and a craftsman ratchet and a piece of pipe . it comes off and make a huge bang and flys across the yard.

This message from"TheRedDisaster08" is right-on-the-money
I just went through this last night. I soaked everything the night before with PB Blaster. I was still hammering with a 5lb. sledge hammer, all directions and making no progress. I was about to get out the saw and decided to visit the forum first. Then I read this post...Ahhhh!!!! Can I get my Big *** puller to fit this rotor? Sure enough, same one I use for harmonic balancers or crank hubs, etc. just makes it on the rotor. I loaded it up, with so much pressure I though it was going to explode...then about 5-10 hits later and BANG!!! The puller goes flying off and I'm thinking it broke! Nope, the rotor was now loose and I lifted it off like it was never stuck. I proceeded to the other side, where in my estimate it was stuck worse (passenger side) and did exactly the same thing and same result, maybe 15 wacks this time!!! If you ever have this problem, go buy the puller from your local autostore. Mine was about $25 a few years ago. Well worth it.
When I put my new rotors on...I PAINTED the hub surface, the lug stud bases, and the hub centric area all with anti-seize. I don't want to got through this again in the future.
