Hi,
So a few months ago, I attempted to swap out my rotors to install the new shiny, non-warped set.
Turns out that the rotor is rusted to the hub. I've Tried WD40, then RP70 in behind the bolts, a sledgehammer, mallet, but still nothing.
I asked for an estimate at a mechanics, and they said around $100 for installing for labour for all four. It sounded reasonable to me, at about 2 work hours, or one hour for two people.
But I figure, now I've got some spare time, I might as well earn that hundo.
Are there ANY tips for removing the old rotor from the hub I could use. Or.
If you know someone/where that would do it for around 60 for all four and
Thanks,
Pat

The only idea was tapping the face with a mallet? Which I've tried.
