I have a '98 SC 4X4 that needs the rotors changed. I have removed the caliper and the mount for the caliper but I can not seem to get the rotor to come off of the hub. I know that it is supposed to slip off at this point but I can not get it off even with a two jaw puller. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

I have the same setup. You have to hit the rotor between the lug studs. Hit'm good and hard with a good hammer (not a carpenters hammer). Work your way around the rotor tapping on the back evenly every once and a while and they will come off. I had one that i had to keep beating for about 5 minutes but it came off.

And when he says hit it with a hammer, Hit that **** hard, My uncle a mechanic showed me, he grabbed a hammer and banged it once hard and poof hahahah comes right off.

 

had same problem, wound up using my cutting torch and cutting the thing off. There wasnt a hammer big enough!

 

Now thats hardcore hahah.

 

You must live in a high salt use area

 

just changed mine, one good smack from the back side with a hammer and they popped right off, I also used a little WD40 and let it sit about 5 minutes

 

when in doubt get a bigger hammer then its " time to nut up or shut up"

 

Thanks for all of the tips, I ended up cutting mine off with a grinder. When I was deforming the center hub and not making any difference I fugured the big hammer was not working.
