Hi all,

My first post on the new forums.. (love this format WAY better than yahoo)

I've got around 76k on my 98 sport. I;ve replaced the front pads 1x (about 50% material left on the stocks).. but ive never chagned the pads on the rear.

In anycase, I was trying to remove the rear rotors on my TI (the pads are very worn and while the rear rotors still have tons of material left, they are slightly grooved.. so I was going to reoplace it).. unfortunately they are frozen in place probably due to rust.

Anyone have any idea how to remove them?

I tried PB blaster and hammering it from the rear with a rubber mallet. I can see that the PB blaster is starting to seep in since i can see bubbles come out of the mating surface between the rotor and the hub, but it still wont budge.

Any ideas?

Thanks
