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 |

Heated the surrounding area to Red
Hit the screw with a 6mm socket With calm pressure used a Makita impact gun with the proper bit Screws came right out without scars! Easy Peasy! Didn't have any 8mm bolts handy Used gentle hammering on the rotor till she budged a wee bit sprayed the exposed gap with PB Some more gentle taps and Whalla! Off they came Thank you for the help!
