Default Front Brake Rotors

I've got 36K on my Dakota and was going to put on some high preformance front rotor but was unable to get the bolts off to get the old rotors off. The brake pads have plenty left in them - I just want to change the rotors because they are alittle bit warped. Has anyone had and isssue with getting the old rotors off?

soak them with pb blaster for about 1/2 hour them give them a good wack with the hammer to brake all the road grime off. this will do the trick

Thanks for the info!! I'll give it a try this weekend.

I've changed out a number of brakes and rotors and haven't had this problem but your solution makes since.

Your rotors are NOT warped.
