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 |

The guys at the shop use a MAP torch because they want to get it done in minutes instead of waiting days for penetrating fluid. It's a very useful tool for working on old cars.
The trick one of the guys taught me is to touch the cooling metal with a piece of paraffin. The wax will wick into the threads and make it easier to loosen while penetrating fluid will just evaporate. |
