Rotors won't budge.They should be knock off's.I have them lubed up and beating on them with a dead blow they are not even thinking about budging.

 

front or rear??

To remove the front ones you need to unbolt the bearing assemblies from the back side and then use a puller to remove the assembly. once removed you press out the wheel studs and then the rotor will separate from the hub.

 

Not on a 2001. Mine has rotors that slide over the studs like a "normal" vehicle.

Did you remember to remove the clips on the studs that hold the rotor in place during assembly? If so, they should slide right off.

 

I am on the rear right now.Yes I remove the clips on the studs.

 

Really??

That's not fair!!

 

Do you have an 2001.5? That is when the rear discs started. Or are we talking about rear DRUMS?

 

If you are trying to remove rear DRUMS instead of ROTORS, click HERE for a thread about a great tip I got from another member.

 

if it is the rear they just slide off the studs. my 2002 were very tight. i just kept lubing them and rappig with a hammer. they finally came loose. if you have a torch a little heat will help. never sieze them well when going back togeather.

 

Rear rotors, I have been lubing with pb blaster and prying against the back of the rotor with a piece of wood wile beating on rotor housing with a five pound dead blow.Nothing is budging.I am about ready to just put new pads on and screw it.Oh I forgot every place in town has to order my rear pads.Go figure huh..

 

You are probably doing this already, but keep turning the rotor as you smack it and it will EVENTUALLY come off.

When that kind of thing happens to me, I remind the rotor that I can hit it ALL DAY, so why doesn't it just save us both some time and fall off!

Happy Pounding!

 

Got it.Sat back and drank a few more beers and got out the BFH and pounded on it like a power stroke trying to pull a load of feathers.

ROFLMAO!!!

Man, that made my night.... Thanks and glad you got them off..

 

The only good thing about situations like that are that you can take out your frustrations on it while you're trying to correct the problem

Glad you got them off, and by the way, good analogy
