Hello all, got everything apart and am down to the hub/rotor. Took off all the bolts, cannot get them to seperate. We've tried wacking it with a hammer and a piece of wood, it's stuck good. Being the 4th not too many places are open to take it to that would have a press. Please let me know any ideas or suggestions. Thanks in advance.. Robert |

That's how I did it, I used a mallet, and you have to alternate where you hit....pop on one side, then pop on the other side.... like tightening lug nuts, just keep whacking all the way around.
When you go to put them back together and initially get them lined up, hand-tighten in the bolts to act as guides. Then, the bolts will guide the halves together when you get jiggy with the hammer trying to get them to mate together. Then, take the bolts back out and put lock-tite on them before putting them back in and tightening them down.
Good luck!

Finally got it, but had to locate a press. Thanks for trying to help out a brother in need. I'm sure that I'll be back with more questions soon.. Peace.. RS |
