Re: Disc Brake Rotor Removal
A bit late with a response but I have seen other posts complaining about rotor removal. I ran into exactly the same problem where it seems like the bolts tip inward and prevent the rotor from coming off even though it is loose. (2003) The rotors were scoring after about 2 years.
I used a heavy duty puller and dragged it off. I actually split off a piece of the rotor, about the size of a brake pad. I just moved the puller over to another part of the rotor and began pulling again.
The new rotor went on without a problem, therefore the old rotor was bad. Could the deformation have been caused by over-tightening of the lug nuts?
I replaced the rotors and pads with Raybestos QS and they seem the wear very evenly.
Next time I would get it back to a dealer for the removal if the same symptom came up.
