Rusted Rotors, Any Tricks To Loosen Them?

[thepremier]

Need to know what I can do to loosen the passenger side front rotor. So far I have tried WD-40 and tapping with a hammer, but haven't had any luck.

What else can I do to loosen the rotor?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

on a gn right? take off the dust cover and youll see a cotter pin and nut
the rotor should easly slide off from there ,

PB blaster works much better than WD for loosening nuts/bolts.

What's frozen? If it's the rotor stuck to the pad, put the wheel back on and turn it. I can't see it being rusted to the spindle with all the grease in there. But if it is, remove the spindle with everything attached and chuck it all.

Thats actually a good question as I sit here and try to imagine what the rotor could possibly be frozen to......I mean the only thing holding it in place is the spindle nut and cotter pin...and that is a floating situation...the wheel would not move if the rotor was frozen to the spindle.....if thats even possible.

I am guessing we are talking about the caliper, not rotor. They are allen bolts on back.
