Rubber mallet ain't cutting it. Trashing the rotors anyway moving to steel mallet

 

I hope you're wearing safety glasses.

Bolts are the answer

 

After you get done with that, please cut some more of that pasture down.  It's getting out of hand.

WD-40 and a rubber mallet!

‘Never take a knife to a gunfight’.  4 lb. hammer, minimum.  Preferably a designed puller as well, and anti seizing compound on reassembly (rotor to hub mating points).  So we’re not having this thread again in 30k miles.

Besides the rubber mallet having little effect on a persnickety rotor, there’s the chance it rebounds, and smacks you in your grill.  (not the car’s)

Tapped holes for wheel bolts in the rotors, I take it?

Holes were there in the rotors. Utilized them for their intended purpose. About three turns and crrrrrack, problem solved

I’ve noticed manufacturers becoming a bit wiser over the years regarding such features. Few things more frustrating than lying on your side in the driveway with a four pounder, trying to get a seized drum or rotor to break free.

More smashed thumbs with reluctant rotors and drums.  More smashed televisions with the Buffalo Beels.

Yep, when stuck, the bolt through to the hub is the answer. 

 

Be sure you also wire brush the hub and wheel clean, as well as the old (if reusing, which is fine) pad hardware. 

Lube up those clips and glide pins, take your time, and enjoy a proper brake job at a 1/4 of the cost of taking it somewhere and them f*&%$ng it up.

Hmmmm.....a crappy brake job experience, or a 6-3 loss to Cleveland in 2008.......

 

Don't make me choose, please. I beg you.

Need an outlet for inner rage? Stuck rotors are great for that. FERRRRRRRRK

 

Heat them, the hotter the better. As the cool you can hear them pop off.
