Fellow Canadian doing front and back brakes on 4th vehicle in past month, and dealing with this now. Others all had threaded holes in face of rotors for bolts to pop them loose. These rotors don’t have the holes, and rust penetrant and hammering didn’t help. Will try this next.
Works great tried everything else and this worked right away. The problem I had was the shaft wasn't threaded so I got a similar sided bolt and threaded a nut on it from the back side. Thank You! 99 Subaru Outback.
... was watching a ton of these videos and you were the first one to mention emergency brakes, just realized I had the e-brakes on when trying to remove the rotor... feel like a right moron
And when you bend or break the calliper mounting bracket...what is the hack then ? I suggest 50/50 Acetone and Auto transmission fluid as a release oil. Let is soak. Have a coffee. Then copper faced hammer on the rotor face. Also you can put bottle jack under rotor and lower car slightly. (hammer as well)
@@greencomfortliving4909 what I meant was hit it while you are applying pressure with your bolts, might help with a really stuck one, I really like the bolt idea
