THE ROCK,
Maryland
A couple of us spent this past 4 day weekend on my brakes...well really we spent four days trying to
take off the drivers side front rotor. The methods/tools that were no match for the stuck oem rotor are
as follows.....the two front bolt method to push the caliper off....YEAH RIGHT bolts broke within
seconds, Vfaqs method...creative but no cigar(claimed 4 or 5 bolts), BFH...sore arms for all three of us
but...rotor still hanging on strong. Keep in mind we hit the rotor for 2 days straight. Then as a last resort ,
and the point of no return we pulled out the drill and air compressor and air chisel. The process of
drilling holes trying our best not to go into the hub, and chiseling in between the drilled holes took about
1 hour or a little more. After the face of the rotor was completely chiseled off it took 3 or 4 hits for the
big hammer and it popped off.
The aftermath......(the rotors are rusted over cause they have been outside for a couple days) but you
get the idea....
right front rotor
Sometimes you just gotta pull out the big guns!
Was all that worth it .. I think so...
