71' 240Z rotor is stuck on hub assy.

I finally got my car on the road, but my rotors are warped.

I bought new rotors and pads, but I cannot get my old rotors seperated from the wheel hub assymbly.

I have used PC Blaster and wacked it with a large hammer (using wood blocks) and I cannot get them seperated.

I have removed the 4 bolts that hold the two together.

Has anyone had this problem? What should I do?

Do you think I can have them pressed apart?

My local dealer said to use a bigger hammer.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Mark

i just popped these off saturday. let them soak with PBBlaster for a while.

i used a tapered chisel driven between the back of the studs and the center face of the rotor. tapped slowly and worked around the perimeter of the hub, a little at a time. the chisel acted as a wedge to separate the pieces.

I forgot to mention that I tried the torch. It didn't work either. I guess I'll let it soak in the PC Blaster for a while. If that doesn't work I'll have to find someone to press them out. P.s. I am using a block of wood between the hub and the hammer.

Hey guys,

The hammer and chisel did the job. Thanks for the advise.

I just hate how sometimes things go as or better than expected and then something as simple as removing a rotor brings you to a screeching hault.

Then again how are we expected to appreciate our cars if they don't make us work for it.
