So I Attempted.....job Complete
#1
So I bought new rotors and pads the other day and this morning attempted to change them out. Just so you know I have done this before on my Focus and many other cars, but this time I ran into difficulty. It seems that the front rotors will not come off the hub and I have tried just about everything I could do with the tools that I had available to get them off. I took a torch to the hub and tried to heat up the rotor to break it loose, I took a rubber mallet to it and beat it silly and it still wont budge. Does anyone have any other suggestions on how I can take these off myself?

I even went out looking for a 2 or 3 jaw puller to clamp on the outter edge of the rotor and pull it off that way but no local stores seem to carry them anymore. I did get it all back together and everything is working fine for the time being, but the rotors are warped which is what prompted this job in the first place.

Any input or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
