REAR Brake rotor removal recommendations

Wanting to replace the rotors on my truck,, its a 2002 f150 2wd. They are the first ones on there. So they are really stuck on there. They are also HUBcentric,, so just taking off the nuts isnt going to do it. Its basicly rusted to the HUB.

So are there any easy ways to get them to let go or do i need a BFH to beat them off????


thanks

marc

Forgot to mention these are the rear rotors. great idea for the front. dont think that will work for the rear ones. As far as damaging them, not to worried, replacing them.

If it's a rotor, it should work. Do you have drums?

here is another brake thread with rotors on the rear.

yes i looked at the how-to collection of brake things. think i looked at that one too. I'll have to look again to see if the bolt,nuts, and metal plate idea would work. yes it has disk brakes

thanks for the links, i tried the search,, but didnt get anything.
