so im putting some studs in on my truck and the rotor wont come off! it is a 2005 f150 xlt 4x4 i changed rotors on my mustang but thats a 99 so it is a little easier then a truck. is there something that holds it back? or is it just rusted on pretty good? if so whats the best way to get it off?

spray a little pb blaster around the stud and hit it with a dead blow hammer or a small sledge hammer

dont i need the rotor off? the rotor is stuck on but the bolts are all loose from the rotor (they started coming out) i think the rotor is stuck to the middle of the hub or does that come off aswell?

there is grease between the rotor and the (Axle?) and when the grease wears off they can sieze on.....just need to use a hammer to tap around it and see if you can free it, sometimes guys will heat it up and tap it, but let that be your last result, just did rotors on my 08 and my back ones were stuck on....just hit them a few times and they came off....

ok ive been pounding the crap out of it for quite awhile now with the bigest hammer on our farm but still nothing budged. so there is nothing holding it on? it should just slip off? if so then ill try the torch...

rubber hammer is good, but sometimes not hard enough so when that didnt work we used a regular hammer.....if youre replacing the rotor it will be ok to hit it hard with a hammer.....
