Removal of Brake Rotor from Hub (corrosion)?

Yes...

Look for one or two little screw holes on the rotor at the hub. Put the correct size bolt in there and crank it it. It is there for just that situation....or just use a sledgehammer. When you put the new rotors on, coat the inner hub with antisieze.

Thanks for the tips but unfortunately the bolt holes in the rotor used to press it off lack threads. Any other ideas?

Thanks, Bob

Well they should have threads, but you can get a massive pitch bolt and still do it. To be honest, I'm surprised you are having this much trouble. Just hit the thing on alternate sides with a hammer. There is no way you have that much rust, even on a women's car.

At the worst, get a dremel (not the cordless one) from Home Depot or similar for about $40 and use the standard cutting wheels to cut a nice groove into the rotor and then split it in half with a hammer. My dremel paid for itself the very first time I used it, on a wheel bearing. Nothing else would even scratch the surface. The local NAPA guys were amazed that *anything* could cut the wheel bearing.

If you have access to an air supply, you can use an air hammer (Use a bit with a flat face). Spray PB Blaster around the studs and into those stripped holes then run the hammer bit around the studs. Rotor should fall loose in at most a few minutes of this.

Good luck
