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 |

Could try this impact driver. Hammer the handle and the bit will twist in direction you want while pushing the tip in to prevent rounding.

Could try this impact driver. Hammer the handle and the bit will twist in direction you want while pushing the tip in to prevent rounding. This is my favorite and always successful tool, that I keep around just for that job. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) Last time I used this was for exactly the same purpose. Clean the slot thoroughly, make sure the tip fits properly. Heat, spray in some PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench, or penetrant of your choice, (yes, the ATF/acetone works well, been using it for years, but you need to shake frequently to keep it mixed), repeat, seat the impact square and whack it but good with a lumpy hammer. It’ll come off, and provide you with a sense of accomplishment... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
