Default trouble removing front rotors on an 09 Caravan
I have the caliper assemblys off. The rotor won't budge. I assume they sieze around the hub. I have sprayed with penetrating oil around the center and beat on it with a hammer. Do i simply get a bigger mall?

Tizzy1 - I take it these rotors don't have the bolt holes in them to screw a bolt in to force the rotor off?

correct, I can't think of something we build that has them. Maybe NS drums?

Bummer.

Daleford - Hey, forgot about this. Not at all sure this will work on a Caravan but you might want to scope it out and see:

IF you're replacing them then beat them until they submit.
