2 piece rotor disassembly

[ZLP955]

Shouldn't need a press, mine separated very easily once the 5 bolts were out. That took a 4-foot breaker bar though.

Having trouble getting the vision on the breaker bar method?

Both rotor assemblies with steering arms, backing plates etc still intact had been removed from the car, and as the bolts were seized, I needed some way of holding the assemblies to stop rotation in opposite direction while undoing the bolts. So I used the 4-foot breaker bar as a reaction brace off the work bench, and then the rotor-to-hub bolts could be undone easily.

Yep, still feeling like a dumba$$. The 5 bolts came out no problem, just can't get the rotor separated from the hub. I need to go back out to the garage and stare at it for a while, maybe my dim light will brighten

Workin' thanks for that tip - I had no idea.

Victory is mine! Stared at it a bit and said to myself, "self, your a dumbass". Put it in my shop press, gave it a little encouragement and it popped loose.
