well, it just started to rain so I guess I have a little break to figure this all out. I liquid wrenched the back of the studs and banged on them some more while I was waiting for replies, didn't work. I guess the next step is just take off the rotor. searched, but I can't find anything...I'm assuming I unbolt the brake with the two bolts behind the rotor, and then it's just the big bolt in the center of the rotor? should come off pretty easily after that, no? I'll look it up in the haynes manual while I"m waitin, but any replies are appreciated.
