23079, Removing rear rotor
Posted by Sitinlo, Mar-19-04 01:55 PM
i have taken the caliper off and the bracket that holds the caliper on. I have freed them of the rust and everything. I can wiggle them back and forth but they wont come off. Is there anything else that holds them on? Need help asap!!!!!!

ok figure 5.6B on page 9-9

"To free a stuck disc, thread bolts of the appropriate size into the holes provided in the disc, then tighten them alternately a little at a time until the disc is free"

Or in my case, it just ripped two larger holes on each side of each rotor. That rocked. Out came the sledge..

Make sure u release the parking brake. I've forgot to do that before and i beat on them all day with no luck. Release the brake and boom.. they practically fell off. LOL

Don't. Been there, done that. I've done that myself and struggled with the damn things for hours!! "Oh I wonder if dis-engaging the parking brake will help?" LOL
