I just changed the pads and rotors on the wifes 2003 escape and it was stuck but you have to hammer the rotor all around and that will loosen it up ,you might want to spray some WD40 on before you start hammering
Remove the caliper, remove the caliper bracket, and remove speed clips that hold rotor. If the rotor is stuck , take a hammer and hit it squarely between the wheel studs.
Remove set screw. Then tap the rotor with a hammer. The rotor should break free. It has just rusted itself to the axle, due to condensation.
Get a big hammer and beat it off. Spray penetrating fluid where you think it may get into the rotor to hub surface.
You have to remove the brake caliper first. Then you might have to slack the parking brake. The parking brake on read disc in inside the back of the rotor. If you cannot slack the parking brake, the you will have to hit the rotor ( with a small 5 lb hammer ) to loosen it. Might take a little time if it is stuck on.
To remove the front brake rotors on a Ford Freestar, start by loosening the lug nuts and safely lifting the vehicle with jack stands. Remove the wheel, then take off the caliper by unbolting it from the bracket, and slide it off the rotor. Next, remove the caliper bracket by unscrewing its bolts, and then you can pull the rotor off the hub. If the rotor is stuck, gently tap it with a hammer to dislodge it.
To remove the rotor on a 2004 Toyota 4Runner, first, ensure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported on jack stands. Remove the wheel and then the caliper by unbolting it from the bracket; hang it out of the way without stressing the brake line. Next, remove the caliper bracket if necessary, and then you can slide the rotor off the hub. If the rotor is stuck, gently tap it with a rubber mallet to loosen it.
Unfortunatley the only way I could get them off was with a 10lb sledge hammer, needless to say I had to replace the rotor.
The Rotor has a small bolt that holds the Rotor on the shaft. Did you Loosen this bolt?
To remove the front brake rotors from a 1997 Mazda Protege, first, lift the vehicle and secure it on jack stands. Remove the front wheels, then remove the caliper by unbolting it from the bracket; hang it securely to avoid strain on the brake line. Next, remove the caliper bracket and then unscrew the rotor retaining screws if present. Finally, slide the rotor off the hub; if it's stuck, gently tap it with a rubber mallet to loosen it.
your goin to need a BFH and a torch end of story. lol yea right ull prolly be there a while beating and heating
Lift car, remove wheel, remove caliper & caliper bracket (bolts in back near strut). Give the rotor a wack with a hammer if it's stuck on the hub and remove it. Reverse to install.
here are a few tricks.some rotors have a threaded holes for bolts to be installed into.turn in the bolts a bit at a time to free from the flange.or remove the caliper and use a chunk of wood to protect the rotor and smack it with a large hammer.rotate the rotor a 1/4 turn and hit again repeat process till free.hit from backside of rotor.
