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) 7 minutes ago, Joe in Winslow said: Used bolts.

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. 1

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. 1
