I was having alot of problems with seized front rotors on my 99 explorer 4.0l xlt. I posted about it and had great input from Shorod. I spent hours trying to break them free. I used pb blaster and a BFH to no avail. The next day tried again after letting penetrating oil soak in, still nothing, wouldn't budge. Then I read in a post about spraying the interior of the rotor from hub side. Sprayed generously and then used my BFH. They popped off! I dont know if that did the trick but it worked. I'm happy now. Hope this helps anyone else with the same problem.

Interesting, I'll have to keep that in mind. Thank you for the suggestion and update, I'm sure that will be helpful to others in the future! I've never tried spraying from the back side.
