Having problems getting rotor off....any suggestions
I use rubber mallets when knocking them off.Originally Posted by gabowhunter
Dont use a metal hammer unless you are upgrading the rotors and don’t care about the old ones

Been beating....its not budging
Well, as i stated above, hit it with a metal hammer if you don't plan on keeping it. If you do, spray it with some WD-40 and let sit for about 30 mins. Chances are the rotors have never been changed so over the years allowed it rusted together
I sprayed them with pb blaster...let set....then started back beating....it came off....yes i am replacing rotors....thanks for the replys
good deal brother!glad it worked out. what kind of rotors are you upgrading to?
What you can do in the future, and it helps with 2 people..... Take a 2x4 cut it to fit between the rotor and the frame rails.
With the truck running place the 2x4 between the frame and the rotor (say 3 O'clock) turn the wheel a little, then move the 2x4 to the 9 o'clock position and turn the opposite way. Rinse and repeat to walk the rotor off.
