Removing stubborn brake rotor?
Trying to remove the front brake rotor. Its been on there for perhaps 12 yrs. (This is on my Camry, not the SC or GS.). Anyone have any techniques for removing stubborn rotors that are rusted to the hubs?
???

Did you try using a bolt in one of the holes in the rotor? There are usually 2 holes that you can screw in a bolt to help remove the rotors. If you didnt try this already.

Finally after torch, liquid wrench, pulling the whole hub assembly from the car (removed control arms, steering arm, etc, strut, etc,) this thing finally came loose. I put it on a brick and beat the crap out of it while simultaneously threading two bolts into the holes on either side. Oddly enough the rotor just cracked at the two bolt locations. This warped the rotor hat enough to pry and put more liquid wrench into it. A 3 pound hammer finished it off. Yeesh... a simple 1/2 hr job turned into 6hrs of cussing.... Now on to the other side...
