ROTOR HELP NEEDED

[shonoff]

I am changing rotors on my 98. The passenger front will not come off. Ive pounded the **** out of it with a hammer from the front, from the back, pretty much anywhere I could hit it with a hammer. I soaked the whole thing with about a half a can of pb blaster, it still wont budge. Anyone got any other tips?

Strike the "hat" of the rotor from the side, at a 90 degree angle to the movement of the rotor off the hub. Strike it on the side of the hat.

Just got done trying that. Still didnt budge. This thing is starting to piss me off now.

Use a big drift and a dead blow hammer to strike the side of the hat, work your way around the circumference of the rotor hat.
