This is what happens when the rotors weld themselves to the hub.
Brute force is the only way, no tool will get those babies off...ahahahah....

Was NOT expecting that! Wow. the part that mounts directly to the face of the hub looks pretty clean, so was it binding on the sides?

Custom two piece rotors FTW! LOL This seems to be a bit of an epidemic around here lately, glad the dealer replaced the pads on mine before they took it to the auction (where I bought it)

I don't know why they were stuck, where they were stuck or how. All I know is that those babies would not come off until they literally broke in half and became 2 pieces. I have never seen anything like it in my life...

Mine were hard to remove as well, but I sprayed the hubs with Sea Foam first.. a couple well placed knocks with a hammer and off they came. And I had 65,xxx miles on my car at the time
