Well, I spent 9 hours over at the garage at school today trying to replace my brakes. The front left rotor didn't want to come off, so I went out and bought a small propane torch. Just as I was about to give up, it started to move. The front right fell right off. Now the right rear is stuck and I am out of energy. I heated the rotor for about 15 minutes and it was smoking, but not moving no matter how much I hit it. I blew half a can of WD-40 in there and am going to leave it for the night. After seeing this post, I'll be looking for a cutting wheel tomorrow.
What sucks the most is that it is difficult to get enough clearance to give a good swing of a large hand hammer. And there isn't a sledge over at school.
Is there such a thing as a brake rotor puller, like a gear or pulley puller?
I expected some trouble on the right rear - it's original (98k). Fronts are about 40k and the left rear is about 85k.
Oh, and to add insult to injury, the SS lines that BAT sent me for the fronts have the wrong fitting on them. On top of sending me E1 pads at that. I am going to be VERY unpleasant on the phone with them tomorrow.
