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???
