Rear brake rotors

[jimlam56]

Doing the brakes on the black one today, and am having difficulty removing the rear rotors.
Any suggestions?

The emergency brake shoes and corrosion between the wheels and hubs are fighting you. Hammer away!

BFH...... unless you are reusing the Rotors :rolleyes:

KillJoys right....I did mine 2 weeks ago and had the same problen.
BFH and Brute force.
Took me about 1 hour to beat each side into submission.

^^^^^what they said ....get youself a big f***ing hammer, and go at it

I smacked my rotors from every single angle before they broke loose

deep creep (seafoam) and a torch were required when I did it on mine. the new rotors were zinc plated so I hope I dont have to do all that again...

I used PB Blaster, let that soak for a couple of hours and then I removed the rubber plug on the backing plate and backed out the adjuster for the emgency brake. I then used a curved end pry bar put the car in neutral to rotate the hub and was able to gently pry the rotors off using the caliper mount as a prying surface. All I had to do was have the rotors dressed for the new pads. Thankfully I did not need a hammer to remove them.
