I just tried to remove the rear rotors of my 2002 dodge ram. I can not get them to budge. I removed the 2 clips from the bolts. I tried both sides can not get them to come off. Anyone know how to get them off???? I already did the front they were simple but the rerars are killing me......................please help[:@]

Might have to smack it with a rubber mallet. When you put it back together maybe put a little anti seize on the axle face.

TY..
I smacked it with a small 2.5 lbs sledge from the back and also on the sides hoping it my come lose but know luck[:'(]. I don't want to damage them in case i don't get them off.

Is there a tool you have to use like a puller???? Like when you remove pullies.

I find that a rubber dead-blow gets it done.

this was a similar problem I had with my old nissan. it just took enough times hitting it for them to loosen up.

I hope it wasnt a metal sledge you were useing, high risk of cracking something that way

make sure the emergency brake isnt on... I dont think you'll be able to get that rotor off otherwise

Yeah, what He^^^^ said.
You most definately will not be able to get them off if the parking brake is set.

thanks all for the help a little break free and a big hammer and they poped right off. I am glad it was just that easy.
