Default Rear brake rotors
Has anybody had a problem getting their rear brake rotors off? I have tried everything from liquid wrench to a hammer and its still on there. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Yea I looked in that forum and found where it said beat the sh*t out of it untill it falls off, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Guess it's time for a bigger hammer. HAHA

If you intend to use the rotors, use a mallet and a piece of 1x4. Use a tapping sequence like top-right-left-bottom-top-right-left-bottom...

Just Make sure you try to beat it out evenly. Its probably hung up on the e-brake shoes. Just beat the hell out of it and it will come off
