Is the rear rotor held on to the hub by these two screws at this point?
I have Soaked/Heated/Hammered but the screws aren't budging. Am I missing something here??? My guess is they are rusted in place... I have a torch with a rosebud tip, didn't heat the rotor to red thinking that I could possibly warp the rotor...so I just went close to red... Do I have to drill these and then tap them out? Thank You, Cass |

I'd probably keep soaking it with Seafoam Deep Creep or 1 part ATF with 1 part acetone, those are the best penetrating fluids I've found. I'd also take a screwdriver and hammer and tap straight in on the screws, like you're driving it in, several times a day. It might take a couple days but the fluid will work it's way in. If you don't want to wait then take Garold's advice and drill off the heads of the screws.
The rotors have two threaded holes for screwing an M6 bolt in to pop them off the hub. |
