B: Air Hammer...worked for me :D :laugh: :thumb:
C: Lots of penetrating oil.
D: Sledge Hammer.
E: Its gonna break no matter what.
F: The VFAQ has a good writeup on a good removal technique.
 
GoD BleSs Vfaq.com...:thumb: . i dont know what i'm gonna do without them.
why shouldn't i thought about of them in the first place:rolleyes: . i spend 8 hours of busting my ass and didnt thought about it.:D
..thanks Tallen. front rotors are out now woohooo!
the process was still a bit tough though.

:dsm:
 
Uh, just get a rotor puller.

My rotors were on there for seven years, and I got them popping right off with a puller.

Banging them with a hammer is BAD for your arm and your ABS sensor.
