rotor removal tip

i had a hard time taking my rotors off, which had 150K on them.

I took it to our family mechanic, and he hit it with a solid hammer from the inside out. It took 2 hits and the rotor fell off.

Prior to that, I switched between soaking with PB Blaster and hitting the rotors with rubber mallet, or dead blow from the outside inward. Zero no luck. I also tried forcing the rotor off with a long screw/nut to the caliper hanger, and that only got 1 rotor off.

Trust me. 2 hits from the inside out, will do less damage to your hub and wheel bearing than the 50 hits by dead blow.
