Well here what I tried so far:
-sprayed around axle hub and stud holes and back of back of rotor with 1/2 can PB Blaster -put bolt in 2 screw holes to pop off rotor like haynes suggests, stripped holes out! -ball pean hammer to try to knock the rusted rotor loose -air hammer to try to knock the rusted rotor loose Anybody got any more suggestions??? I'm hoping letting it soak overnight will work....but I might bust out the 5lb sledge! I've had rotors rust-welded before, but this is the worst I've I ever seen. -------------------- 92 Eagle Talon TSI AWD "The Black Golfball" How fast can a 14B go???

If you plan to replace the rotors anyway the 5lbs sledge might not be a bad option, just remember to give love taps to both sides of the rotor so that it comes off evenly to prevent broken/bent wheel studs.
if you think that you want to save the rotors, try the same using a wood block or a dead blow hammer. **NOTE** (I did this) DO NOT try using the "loan (break) a tool" puller from Auto Zone that you secure onto the wheel studs and tighten onto the end of the axle. If you do this you will only press out the axle from the hub (not good). Sorry I am probably not much help. Just thought I would offer as much "DO NOT" advise as possable, I do not remember what I did to remove the one that was stubborn for me. -------------------- You CAN sleep in your car, but your CAN NOT race your house!!!
