I am trying to replace my rear rotors on a 2006 F150 4WD. I got the calipers off OK but when I try to remove the rotors the won't budge. I was thinking the E brake maybe hanging it up on the inside. any advise to getting the rotors off?

if i remember right you gotta hit it with a pretty big hammer to knock them loose.
my dad always did something like this tho. this vid explains it pretty well. and make sure theres nothing holding it on still

I had to hammer the hell out of them also. Spray some PB Blaster around the studs and let them soak for a while, them grab a BFH and wail away.

In this case, usually a heavy sledge hammer will do the trick. It takes quick a bit of force to release them. Have fun

I just did what I saw on the video about, and it worked great. Used a metal spacer, and the 10mm caliper bolts.

Thanks for all the advise given, I getting ready to go out and beat on it some more. I just wondering if the emergency brake is hanging it up, event though I have it unhooked.

X2 check to make sure the ebrake Is backed off if not and there is much wear inside the drum the small lip it makes can make a huge difference in removing this drum inside rotor style rear breaks

I got it off, my buddy had a penetrating oil called THRUST, we sprayed it on waited a few minutes and hit it a couple times with a 3# hammer and if left loose. we sprayed the other side before we even attempted it, and 3 hits with the hammer and it was loose.

I've always had good luck with PB PLASTER, but this was the cats meow. His son is a Ford mechanic, and they use it in the shop and a can found its way to his dads. I'm going to try to find where it is sold and get a can for myself.

Thanks for all the help!!!
