Fellow Canadian doing front and back brakes on 4th vehicle in past month, and dealing with this now. Others all had threaded holes in face of rotors for bolts to pop them loose. These rotors don’t have the holes, and rust penetrant and hammering didn’t help. Will try this next.
I had to do this plus beat on it from behind with a 3# mallet....but it worked. That BOIOIOIOING of the rotor breaking free is sweet, sweet music.
It worked like a charm. The threads were a little too short, so I lodged the old shoe pad between the screw and the rotor and it worked fine.
aww very cleaver to use the pad! Glad it helped.
Works great tried everything else and this worked right away. The problem I had was the shaft wasn't threaded so I got a similar sided bolt and threaded a nut on it from the back side. Thank You! 99 Subaru Outback.
Glad it helped you
Thanks for the idea and will be using it later this morning. Rotors on a 2017 Rogue are rusted in place with only 50k on the car. Appreciate it.
It worked and over a thousand miles since on new pads, rotors, adjusted parking brake. Thanks again.
I was about to give up when I watched this. Thanks, it worked great 👍
Glad it helped
I feel your pain.
Thanks for the info. I live in Ontario and got the same problem 9n my Mitsubishi RVR.
ya im in ontario too its so bad with rust
Good idea. I use a 150mm gear puller for such issues.
Thanks for sharing bro... im about to do it on my Sienna😁
Thanks for stopping by man
And when you bend or break the calliper mounting bracket...what is the hack then ?
I suggest 50/50 Acetone and Auto transmission fluid as a release oil. Let is soak. Have a coffee.
Then copper faced hammer on the rotor face.
Also you can put bottle jack under rotor and lower car slightly. (hammer as well)
this puts the alignment out
Genius!!!!!
thank you
Get a ROTOR PULLER..Best investment 👌
... was watching a ton of these videos and you were the first one to mention emergency brakes, just realized I had the e-brakes on when trying to remove the rotor... feel like a right moron
How can you get an r rake to adjust
Hello: just need to know the size of bolt your using ? Thanks !
OP used the OEM bolt from the caliper/holder.
Worked for me ,thanks
use a jack...works great
Put 1 old pad behind the bolt then tighten it against
Slice them like a pizza with a Sawzall or gringing wheel & hit with a chisel. Works every time
Mine aren’t long enough
Nope. Relief cut and a sharp chisel, every time
Ever hear of a flashlight I can't see a damn thing
You need new glasses, not a flashlight
they are shoes not pads fyi
Itg
If you hit it with a hammer when you do that it will pop loose sooner
i did that with the passenger side with no luck and i didn't have a torch at that time so i came up with this and filmed the drivers side.
@@greencomfortliving4909 what I meant was hit it while you are applying pressure with your bolts, might help with a really stuck one, I really like the bolt idea
@@marvinjacobs2955 aww ya that makes sense i see what you mean now. good tip, i don't have that car anymore but i will do that. thanks
"A boat"??? Looks like someone never used their park brakes.
nope! not on this car unless i was on a hill which was never lol
