Tips for removing rear rotors?

[midnightblue97]

Holy ****, I was just telling you what it was called, not trying to make you feel stupid.

I had nothing to do with it.

Well, the Holy **** was all me, but the rest... I had nothing to do with.

i just used different screws and if your break something replace it, its there for a reason, use a hammer to brake the drum loose, do it lightly around the outside that should free up some of the rust

i was thinking drums not rotors sorry bout the confusion, man those impact screwdrivers are f*%king hard to find around here and if you find one they are like a 100 bucks!!

f**k impact screwdrivers..just use a drill bwahahah.

What I did was get my 1/4 ratchet, and use that with a 1/4in nut driver, then I put the #3 screwdriver bit tip, and used that. The ratchet is long enough that it gives you enough leverage like a break over bar.

I also found replacement screws at the local ace hardware for like 35 cents. I put the new ones on, b/c I messed up the head on the others.

The reason for them being there, is b/c you put them into the holes next to the holes they orginally came in and tighten them down. When you do they push against the plate behind the drum, and push the drum off. No banging needed.

That or drill the crap out of them like the Festiva lover said

I used a sledge hammer to get the old rotors off... It worked.

[D323]

hope you didn't mess anything up.

[Gro Harlem]

yea, unless u want to **** them up permenantly, use a rubber hammer so you don't nick them up.

[D323]

agreed

[charles]

meh, he was replacing the rotors anyway.... but yeah, I might recommend a rubber mallet anyway

[D323]

breaking someone elses stuff is more fun




Just kidding

I'm not a completel idiot. I used a rubber mallet (dead blow) first, but that wasnt working, then a small metal hammer, then the sledge.
