Absolute hero 😭 trying for an hour hammering my 20 year old front discs. Can’t thank you enough for this vid

[Deeked]

I'm 55 years old. I feel so dumb for not thinking of this.
HUGE thank you. Much love from northeastern Virginia

[donfrommead]

This video saved me from giving up and paying a mechanic! And it was SO SIMPLE! Thank you!

[TonyReilly-mtuu]

I'm 66 and echo Deeked"s comment below. Have been whacking the you know out of this thing. Will try this method, thanks.

[redghost]

This literally saved me today. It popped right off. Thanks.

[conradkentucci]

Dude, thank you! It freakin' worked! Got the rotor off my front wheel (small car); I used a 1/2" cap screw, with the above-prescribed nuts and 1 washer. Cheers!

[daveg]

Thank you man! That worked when everything else I tried didn't. I was worried about bending the caliper mounting ear, so I took a round bar and braced it between the inboard side of the ear, and a solid place on the frame. Because I'm working at the front, the bar doesn't have to be an exact length - all I had to do is turn the steering wheel until the bar was trapped. Then I threaded my bolt through the hole, and tightened it. Sure enough, with some bolt pressure (although not a ridiculous amount), PING! The rotor was loose. What a relief! 👍

[runroxx]

You rule. WD40 and torch failed to loosen up the rotor but your trick popped it off in seconds. Thank you.

[kayakerjohn]

After hours of trying everything else (hammer, heat, PB Blaster), this worked! happy to hear that first pop! I had to use a Grade 8 bolt and nut. The general stock bolt and nut (Grade 2) that I initially used stripped after several ratchet turns.

First time doing maintenance myself and I have been meant to rust welded part at every step. Finding your tip and seeing so many positive reviews makes me excited to go give it a try too! Hopefully it works for me as well!

[RyanMiller-rslz]

Thanks for the idea. The rotor was really rusted and basically welded together. So , I did this and rotated rotor 180 degrees .You have to be very easy with to not damage rotor in this case. Rotated 185 degrees this time and repeated the same . Crack down on bolt only 1/2 turn. PB blaster and persistence paid off.. Did not damage rotor and reused no problems.. So this video really helped me with a big problem an figured I would share my experience.

[TonyReilly-mtuu]

Update, It worked!!! Sure was much easier than trying to bang it off with a sledge hammer. Thanks for the tip.

[santonucci]

Just a quick thanks for posting this. It worked great today. It actually pulled the bearing out, which was what I needed done anyway! Once it was out, it was easy to get the rotor off and finish the repair.

[portmoodyhandyman]

Thankyou thankyou thankyou. That helped so much. I spent 2 hours hitting it it with a hammer. This took 10 minutes.

[dandyfunhouse]

Total life saver. I had one long bolt, a washer and two wing nuts but this freaking worked! Thank you!

[Mika-diekleine]

Hello. I come from Germany. And I also had a problem with my brake rotor not getting them off.
When I saw your video with this trick, I tried it out on my car. And it worked super well. You are a super hero! :)

[lovinthe]

Bro, I had done this for a wheel bearing removal on a 2011 Explorer. Notorious for being a huge PITA. Never thought about it for a stuck rotor. Picked up some grade 8 bolts and rotor popped off in three minutes.

Thanks for helping use my head.

[googpix]

Thank you for this. I have a Mercedes that had new pads and rotors but sat for 10 years. I broke 3 socket extensions and only got one rotor removed before I found this. Thank you !!!!

[Redberryfarm]

Front truck rotor stuck on like glue... hitting and hammering... nothing...heating it ... nothing...rented a puller with lots of torque...nothing. (There goes the whole day trying...) Finally saw this video ~ using simple tools ... and presto. It came off quite easy. THANK YOU!!!

This video is over 2 years old, but folks like me are still finding it useful. Thank you!
