Yesterday I attempted to change my pads and rotors. The pads are easy but the two bolts holding the rotors on a a bi*ch to break free. i tried wd40 which was no help. Anyone have any input or tricks to getting these off?

Front or rear?
What 2 bolts? Photos or diagram always helpful.

I think I had to use a breaker bar on those when I installed my brembos, also IMHO PB Blaster works a million times better than WD40, try that instead.

other than that my only advice is don't be a wuss and put some muscle into it.

I used a 22 mm wrench and 5 pound sledge

Torque on bolts #19 is 113 pounds. Find a long breaker bar. Turn the wheel so you can get a good angle.

Caution: This is some serious torque. Do not accidentally knock the car off the stands.

Cheater Pipe

Get a pipe thats bigger than the wrench/breaker bar, slide it over the end and use it for leverage. Works wonders.

Used Pb and a pipe! Bitches came out nice and easy!

Exactly How I do it. A Good box wrench and a few hard slams with a shorty sledge and they are off like a prom dress.

I use a 24" breaker bar. They come off very easilly.

I didnt need a breaker bar when I did mine but I did bang my hand a couple times when they came loose.
