Well, this thread is certainly well timed for me. I did get the last 2 rotors off today. The one I left behind soaking in WD-40 took some more torch time and hammer bashing at first. I was spinning the rotor (with the claw of the hammer) and hitting it front and back to make sure it wouldn't get cocked. Then, in a fit of aggression, I hit the rotor square on top from above and it popped loose! When I went to the other rear, I gave it a good dose of WD-40 and then gave it a shot from above and it came loose, too. Didn't have to torch it or hit it from behind at all.
The whole time I was thinking that I should have paid to have all this done. But there is no feeling like knowing you got a job done against all odds. And I made sure to use sufficient anti-sieze on the backs of the rotors, so the next time I do this it will be easy.
I do have a question: Anyone have a good trick for getting the parking brake cable back into the lever? I somehow managed to get the last wheel done without removing it (putting the caliper back on sure was tricky), but I couldn't manage to get the other one back in no matter how hard I tried. The car has to get inspected in the next few weeks, so I might just leave it go and ask my mechanic to do it while its in.
