This is my first try without a friends help at changing rotors. On my 1992 LX I have taken the caliper off and beat the fire out of the rotor but it would not budge. Next I took the wheel bearing (probably wrong term) cap off, took the pin out, unscrewed the nut and then the rotor slid right out.
Now what I have is the old rotor, the wheel bearing junk in the front and the wheel bearing junk in the back. The front stuff comes right out but the back doesn't.
Here are my questions:
1. How do I get the wheel bearing junk out of the old rotor so I can move it to the new rotor?
2. Was the rotor supposed to come off without removing all the wheel bearing stuff?
My buddy says I need to put the old rotor back on and beat it with a hammer until the rotor comes off leaving the bearings behind.
