Ok I've been trying to get my drivers side rear rotor off for the past 2 days. Ive sprayed it with a ton of PB blaster and ive been hitting it with a rubber mallet and using a crow bar on it and it wont budge. To make sure.... The only thing that needs to be removed off a rear brake rotor for it to come off is the brake caliper right??

 

Sorry for being pushy, but i need to get this done. I need to at least know that im doing everything right and that i just need to hit it harder

 

Did you adjust the e-brake so it is not as tight. Adjusts just like any drum brake. Other than that, it is probably frozen to the hub.

 

I took the little rubber stopper thing off the back of the brake and theres a little star thing that i turned. Im guessing that is the aduster???

 

just did mine, they were a beeyotch to get off of there! be patient and don't break anything, increase force little by little and they should pop off... mine were really stuck also

 

Correct.

 

Well Its that time. Ive been defeated. All I have gotten out of this is a sunburn and grease stained fingers. haha. I guess i got to call a mechanic. Thanks for everyones help.

 

if all else fails....get a bigger hammer.

 

any luck yet?

 

No not yet. I gotta buddy moving down to delray, where i live, on thursday so we'll see what we can do.

 

good luck, patience is a virtue, i'd rather a stuck rotor than a broken hub/axle

 

Drop the mallett and get the 4lb sledge out.

 

I've been trying to get mine off also and can't seen to break it loose. Is there much of a risk damaging a wheel bearing by hitting it with a small sledge?

 

Ive been told by many people to use a mini sledge so I may be making a trip to Wally World. haha

 

I would try some heat and a biger hamer. My buddy had the same problem on his 2000 f150 front rotors. Ford is known for using such tight fit on their rotors. Good luck.

P.S. I have to asume you are buying new ones so hit it like you have at set.
