rotor won't come off
 
Wheel bearings on the front went out. I'm in the process of changing them but I can't get my rotor to come off. Any tips or tricks to this? Am I missing something? Thanks for any help! !

There notorious for sticking on you will just have to beat the hell out of it to get it off but you will have to buy a new one that's the easiest way you could probably soak studs overnight in some PB and it may come off

That's what I was afraid of. I had a board up against it and was beating that board in an attempt to not damage the rotor too bad. Damn man this sucks lol

I always use a torch, heat the face of the rotor and get a mini sledge and beat the living hell out of it and it will come off, if you don't use the torch it will take MUCH longer!!

very true on just need to keep hitting with a 3 pound sledge and spray JB80 around lugs is what I do.

guess you're going to beat the rotor out

USE THE BOARD OR A DEAD BLOW HAMMER, BUT PUT IT ON THE BACK OF THE ROTOR WHERE THE BRAKE PAD SITS. IT COMES OFF MUCH EASIER WHEN HITTING FROM THE INBOARD SIDE OF THE ROTOR. I USE A SLEDGE HAMMER AND A DEAD BLOW SO I DONT DAMAGE THE ROTOR.
