I realize it's a "special" moment... but when you have a habit of making sure the e-brake is fully locked anytime you're lifting the car with a jack, it's something you probably do without thinking.
When I did my rear rotors I definitely locked it, then before I went to pull the rotors realized what I had done when I couldn't rotate them at all.

Mine routine has loosen lugs and lift car reversed, but I'm lazy and using air tools to pull the lugs off.

Grave digging but I can't remove the *@&# drums after turning the star gear in the proper direction after letting out the parking brake and hammering away like a blacksmith with a rubber mallet and lightly with my 32 oz hammer. I'm staring at these damn things and cursing up a storm. Is there something that I'm missing?

[ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t2Ody4WCIWY"]method.[/ame] All you need is some nuts/washer & a bolt that is smaller than the caliper bracket hole and use it to push out the rotor. You don't need a bolt like the video that is the right size. Way easier than a hammer. |

Provided all the other advice in the thread has been followed (caliper removed, parking brake off, etc.) There should be threaded holes in the disc that you can put a screw in to push them off the wheel hub. Like this: iirc it's a standard 8mm or 10mm screw and you can definitely 100% use one that is fastening the underbody of the car in place. That's how I got mine off. I don't think the wheel speed sensor has to be removed but it doesn't hurt to check it. Edit: I would not do what's done in the video @FirstWinter posted, that could cause some dinged up surfaces by putting that much torque on one edge of the rotor. You could potentially fuck up the emergency brake assembly. Start with the two holes in the disc and if that is problematic you can try more extreme measures.

I winter drive my car in the Land of Salt, and got the rotors off after 4 winters using only the bolts in the front as shown in your picture so I'm not sure why @Trefoil is having issues. |

The shitter part of doing it this way is depending on where in the county he lives and if its year round daily car its very possible the threaded holes for rotor removal will need to have the threads chased before he will ever get a bolt through them. All the vehicles I have dailed year round here in Minnesota even after only 2 years the threaded holes would no longer take a bolt without being chased.
*read 1st post looks like he is from California. Should be ok then* Quote:

Holy crap! Just needed to put the impact gun on it and there was immediate separation after I did both ports. Quote:

For reference: the bolt is a M8x 1.25 pitch. I bought mine at 60 mm length but only 30 is really needed.

I did the same thing and forgot to release the E brake, I got the rotor off but now I cannot get my new one back on, or the old one. I can't seem to get it over the ebrake. (the Ebrake is off). Any advice how to get it on?
