Try some PB Blaster.. soaked two or three times every 15 minutes (optimally, leaving the last one 12 hours over night, then re-applying a 4th time for 15 minutes of soaking) then go at it with the BFH. Since you are replacing it (IF you are) then no worries in that respect. Ray '99 CSVT - Silver #222/276 In a constant state of blow-off euphoria.

Unless you enjoy the frustration of needing top hit things with big hammers. Jim Johnson 98 SVT 03 Escape Limited

All right, a hammer it is. I have already soaked and resoaked them with PB Blaster... I'll let it soak overnight again, and then go at it with a hammer. Thanks !

If you need to get it off and some persuasion with a reg ular hammer doesn't work. Don't go pulling out the sledge. You will need to cut the old rotor off with a diegrinder. Cut down through one whole side of the friction srface and part way through the hat, avoiding cutting trhrough the hub itself. Then insert a chisel into the cut and hammer it in - the rotor will crack easily and you will be able to remove it. Beating on it will a mallet will Brinnel the wheel bearing sand then a simple brake jobs ends up in a wheel bearing replacement. 2000 SVT Turbo 295hp/269ftlb@12psi #1 for Bendix Brakes Kits!
