I also had the same problem. After I called a friend of mine to help me with the stuck rotors, I greased all the contact housing surface with copper grease. So next time brake rotors will come out easily.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.. my frustration on the stubborn rotor was ended becoz of this video .

you need to wrap those lug nut threads with cloth when you put those pry bars.

Fastest is with a air hammer and hammer bit, hit the rotor surfaces first from one side to the other. Get a bigger hammer. No one wants to hit the rotor surfaces for some reason.

11:59 The easiest way is put some WD-40 around the edge between rotor and wheel hub, also all around nuts and any hole on the surface, wait 5-10 minutes, than use a rubber hammer hit the rotor hard on both sides, it will come off in a minute. 11:59

Thank you sir !!!

Great job!

Many people don't know this. The brake caliper can be used to push off the rotor.

I just lightly tap the brake rotor off from the wheel well side.

THE best way to remove a seized rotor is to strike hard with a 4lb+ hammer at a 45 deg angle on the crown (the corner edge edge near the studs), it warps the rotor for a millisecond and pops it right off, I've never had this not work, never had it damage anything. Technique is everything, the strikes must be sideways enough to cause the instantaneous warping that allows it to pop off, (too inward and it won't work, too sideways and it won't work). The point of the video is to help people learn best techniques no? It's best to learn from people who have done hundreds of brake jobs in their lifetimes. Being one of those people, I can tell you a hammer is quicker and more effective, you damage nothing (to include the old rotor) If a rotor is barely held on the hub flange (like it was in the video), a little tap is all it takes, if a rotor is really seized on there, then yes, a big accurate blow with a sledge may be required. But the method in the video isn't going to be any easier on a truly stuck rotor...you're going to need an impact or a long bar to turn those bolts, I'm skeptical it would even work based on my experience, (there are vids of people snapping bolts, etc.) This method requires you to find bolts that will work, probably use PB Blaster on the threads, maybe strip a bolt, etc., omg, grab a hammer and you're done in 2 seconds. I think the issue is the hammer requires technique, hit it correctly and it takes two good smacks max, hit it slightly wrong and it is way, way, less effective. This video is how you hit the rotor properly, the person in this vid seems like an amateur so his technique isn't great, but it's in the neighborhood of proper (his angle isn't 45 degree strikes, his are too inward instead of more sideways, and you can hit MUCH harder if needed). One good accurate smack on a rotor like this and you're done, literally one smack. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jpOTedR0vLDIf4k.html

What do you do when you strip the threads out of the rotor?

Cornflakes we’re falling from that brake rotor.

Does that mess up the wheel hub ?

I’ve the same problem on my car. Those rotors will not come off.
