Help - front brake disc removal

[sparky]

Hey guys. I am installing new struts/springs up front. I removed the calipers and anchor plate, but can not seem to remove the disc. Am I missing somthing? Any tips?

Get a hammer.

No that should be it. it may be siezed on, gently tap it from the backside and it should come free.

I tried hitting it with a hammer, but it would not budge.

 

[clark98gt]

you may need a bigger hammer and new rotors

 

[sparky]

Thanks. The bigger hammer worked and will probably need new rotors.

mine were a ***** to get off too, lol! i got pissed and beat the hell outta them

PB blaster...wait 5-10 minutes...hit with hammer multiple times. If they don't come off, repeat process.

Got it. Thanks everyone!

Just consider it "stress relieving" lol

I use this method. Works EVER time. even on the most stuck rotors.

Thanks! I'll have to try that when I take off the rears.

Very helpful, i'll be doing this soon aswell, i picked up a set of cross drilled and slotted rotors cheap that i want to install.

take down the date and time ladies and gents. handz just posted actual tech.

congratz, Greg. lol.




also, if you use that technique (first time i've seen it, as well) I suggest putting anti-seize on the bolts to ensure those nuts dont lock onto them and you go from a frozen rotor to a frozen rotor+frozen bolts. lol.

also using a heavy harden rubber mallet adds shocks without gauling. in a criss-cross pattern, hit it really good. while you are there, replace the front bearing hub.


:golf claps: for handz. it only took almost 13k post to actually post tech.

I post plenty of actual tech.... non of you guys actually take the time to read any of it.
