Brake Rotor Problem

[drthrift035]

Ford E 250 2007 5.4 L V8

I have removed the following:

1) The wheel.

2) Caliper Mounting Bolts.

3) Brake Pads

4) Bracket.

I am down to the rotor itself. However I can’t remove it. Please let me know what I can do to remove it. Thanks in advance.

Sometimes its not easy.

I’d have had that rotor removed way before he did. The guy in the video.
Squirt QuickWrench into stud holes, while rotating rotor, so that it distributes evenly.
Go do something useful for about 20 minutes. Come back and squirt a little more.
Take a good hefty hammer and strike that rotor, hard, right between the studs, in criss ctoss pattern. Do NOT hammer on rotor edge.
5-6 strikes, and it pops. But you got to HIT it, not peck it. Ever since I figured this, it worked on every rotor stuck.
Before reinstall, liberally sneer hub and rotor with anti sieze.

Thank you for the video. I was thinking there must be a tool that can be purchased to cut the rotor off and save time. Thanks again.
