brake rotors

[momorugger]

I've removed tht allen screw in the disc, but the disc still won't come out. I have removed the calipers, but I just can't get the disc off. any help? My camera is at work, so no pictures. How do I remove the discs from the gold central hub.

I'd let some penetrating fluid soak in around the center.
PB Blaster seems to be popular.
Give it some time.
Then try a BFH.
Just watch your toes.

You might want to use some anti-seize against the hub and rotor.
Also in the hex screw.

well a hammer always comes handy!! in those situations!!
removing rotors that is not installing pads!

I just replaced my rotors this past weekend. Make sure you release your parking brakes. Then hammer the rotor, then turn 180 degrees, and hammer again until out.
