I'm been pounding away for 40 mins. Can't get get the rear rotors off. Am I
doing something wrong? Emergency brake ain't pressed.

 

You need to do is take the wheel off. Then remove the caliper and caliper mount. Rotor slides right off. You need to put some effort into loosening those caliper mount bolts since they tend to be tightened quite abit. Little walkthrough with pics here

Spray some PB blaster on it and let it sit.. It should come off

 

Thanks, I got the calipers of and got the rotor to move an inch. Will give the spray a shot. Those bolts were a pita. Had that blue locktite stuff on them.

 

Thx, wd40 did the trick. work smarter not harder. hehehe

 

Glad you got them out (would've said off, but that would've sounded weird..). I usually WD40 them, then take a small wire brush around as much of the hub as you can (that's almost always your sticking point). Then it's wiggle time.

 

dude (not trying to threadjack but you just reminded me!! lol) when i replaced my brakes all the way around every single one of my bolts had loctite on them!!! WTF?!?!?! why would they put loctite on a bolt that they know is gonna have to be removed?!?!?!?!

 

Because a bolt that is frequently removed becomes more likely to come loose, so loctite keeps it from doing so.

 

that makes sense but i have changed brakes on more vehicles than i can count and this is the first one i have ever come across that had loctite on the bolts. its whatever. not a big deal.

 

Yeah, personally I would only use that stuff on a bolt I never planned to
touch again. PITA.
I guess it was time to change these. hehehe
