Question Cant get the rear rotors off!

I've been trying to get the rear rotors off my 1999 GT for 2 hours now! I've sprayed them down with pb blaster, scraped the rust off of the hubs and beat the **** out of them and I cant get them to budge. Do you guys have any ideas?

i've heard of people braking rotors with a sledge attempting to get them off. sometimes they can be a pain. good luck.

Just keep beating. Spin rotor as you pound on it. Eventually it will come loose. Good luck.

^^^ find something bigger, and heavier to hit it with. plan on replacing, not turning them if you were.

get 1 bolt about 3" long
2 washers
2 nuts


Do this !!! Its a nice trick that I use to remove my Cobra rotors.
Also make getting wheels hubs off (front & IRS) if you put rotor back on with a few lug nuts

Are you swearing while hitting with a rubber mallet?

Perhaps you're not holding your mouth right?
