Update: This shit won't come off until a 4lb sledge hammer came. Whack the heck out of it. FINALLY! Please see the pics, new vs old. Thanks for the help from here, guys. It can't be done w/o your input. XOUTPOST ROCKS!!!
I was doing a simple front brake rotor replacement last night. Got everything out of the way, wheels, caliper, carrier bracket, rotor retaining bolt, etc. Now comes my stupid part: Time to remove the old rotor. It just stuck to the hub and won't come OFF. I tried rubber mallet, hammer, crawl under the car and hammer it HARD. Just won't come off. After making all kinds of noise for over 30 minutes, ya, 30 minutes, I quit! This shit must be soooooo rusted to the hub, I was thinking. Better let the garage to handle it. Next 20 minutes, I put everything back on..........
This morning, I just can't help thinking the whole process in my head over and over again. Suddenly I realized, SHIT! I was SOOOOOO stupid!!!! I forgot one thing! No wonder why it stuck to the hub and not come off.
I'm sure you all know what I forgot...
