Default Rear rotor question.

Do you guys have any tips for removing the rear rotors. They are stuck on there pretty good. I sprayed some wd40 and let it sit for awhile then hit it with a hammer but no luck. I'm going to stopped and get a rubber mallet on the way home and try again but I just wanted to see if anyone has any tips first. Thanks.

I haven't removed mine in a while but i'm pretty sure there is a screw holding it on.

thanks. i did take the screw out but the rotor is still on there pretty good. i think where i may be going wrong is that i didn't take the caliper carrier off so i am going to try that tonight and then beat it with a mallet if that doesn't work...

PB Blaster, rubber mallet, lots of grunting & groaning. If the rotor is crap or you're replacing it, metal hammers are your friend

Yes. Pickup some pb blaster and let it soak for 30 minutes.

Remove the calipers, then on the rotor there is 1 screw.. You need to remove that. Then use a hammer and hit the rotors hard. Hit it on the face of the rotor towards the edge. It will come loose. I just did mines 2 weeks ago.

I believe he said he got that screw already...

If all else fails, get a torch and heat it up (make sure there's no lubricant that could catch fire on there), that should help get it loose.
