Cutrara Says: Don't let your rotors get this bad, Pics inside Options

Calipers and caliper mounting brackets are off, I even removed the codder pin and big 32mm Axle nut. I have been beating the **** out of these rotors and they still wont come off. This is just rust, right? I'm not forgetting anything am I? How do I break through the rust? I doused them with WD-40.

Thanks


Edit: Pics are down more

Sometimes rotors can stick to the hubs. There are three threaded holes in the rotor.
Use the appropriate sized metric bolt to thread into the holes and force the rotor from the hub. Use all the threaded holes to separate in a uniform fashion.
Mine were really stuck to the rotors when I replaced them in March.

A hammer does also work if you aren't keeping the rotors, like celiracer says.


Anti-seize compound is also nice to use on the threads and between the rotor and the hub as well as the outside of the rotor and the aluminum rim to prevent them from sticking next time. Just a very thin coat makes a big difference.
