Use the bolt holes to screw it off.
Blow torch.
>>14763372
>Use the bolt holes to screw it off.
Did that, the threads disintegrated.
>torch
To cut it off maybe. It's completely fused and won't move at all.
I'm really out of ideas, I thought the puller was going to work for sure.
>>14763365
Quit being a cluck and hit it like you mean it.
>>14763365
That rotor looks like shit. What kind of shitbox is this
Get a bigger hammer you faggot
>>14763381
>To cut it off maybe. It's completely fused and won't move at all.
Heating something up and letting it cool down can actually make it a bit easier to pull off.
>>14763385
I DID. I used all of the hammers, from dead blow to ball peen.
>>14763390
It's been sitting outside for a while.
>>14763365
>spend 150 of a puller

cucks ladies and gents
i bet OP is a bernie voter

Heat the rotor around the center just on the edge of the hub with an oxyacetalene torch. Get the rotor cherry red and whack it a few times with a 5 lb drilling or engineer hammer.
>>14763365
why is the axle stand no where near the axle?
>>14763365
Sledge hammer right between the lugs. Couple of good wacks and it should pop off. I has to get someone strong to do it.
This is why I put hard grease between parts that get bolted together on my own car, fucking rust man. The feeling when parts come off without spending half a day creating jigs just to separate them, or banging them with hammers for hours. That feeling is tippety fucking top.
did you not use any rust dissolver either?
>>14763365
Last time I tried changing my friends brakes they were welded to the hub and i ended up just cutting it off around the center hub.

Just dealt with this. Get a 10lb + sledge, a short (like one foot long) 2x4, and a friend to help you. Have the friend hold the 2x4 against the rotor, then hit the 2x4 as hard as you can with the sledge. Also, spray the rim of the rotor liberally with PB Blaster or some other penetrating oil. Report back if you do all that and it still doesn't come off. Good luck.
>>14763435
ayyyyy
>>14763435
>hard grease
use copper anti-sieze actually, but be aware that it messes with your torque spec, "wet torque" it's called
pb blaster, MAP gas or oxy/acetylene, sledge hammer.
>>14763365
2x4 long enough to come out other side of truck when put against inside of rotor then smake the shit outta it with a hammer

Hit it with your purse faggot
>>14763365
Take the rest of the lug nuts off, duh
>>14763813
But then who is ford?
>>14763510
Tried this.
BTW: Don't hit your friend with the sledge by accident. It wont be enough to disable him, and an angry man with a 2x4 can inflict a lot of pain.
1. apply heat
2. hit with hammer
removed y/n?
y. relax
n. go to 1.
>>14763365
cum on it.
>>14763365
Spray it with PB blaster, blast it with a torch, then smash on it hard as fuck with a fucking sledge hammer.
Now stop being a fucking pussy god damn dude grow a pair no joke

This explains everything.
>beat the hell out of it with a hammer

>betcha you couldn't do it
I've run into this issue hella times, it's not that bad
All you need is a hammer and some strong ass well placed blows :3c
(optional torch and penetrating lube)
>>14764489
brake drums on the other hand, oh god fuck that.
Nothing to hammer on, it's a nightmare.
Strike the rotor with a large hammer in the location provided in the pic. Strike in proximity to the lugs.
>>14764164
the ford is in all of us, anon
>>14763365
is this the rear axel? if so make sure your parking brake isn't still engaged.
