Front Rotors Stuck!!! Help?!?!? 850 1995

posted by  someone claiming to be Alex on  Fri Feb 2 06:07 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi, I'm literally in the process of installing new front pads and rotors on my 850 and I got the calipers and pads off successfully but the rotors (on both sides) won't budge. Any suggestions? I tried banging it with a hammer and that didn't do to well and now I'm at the point of no return because the rotor surfaces have dings in them from the hammer. Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks. Also, the old pads were worn down to about half the thickness of the new pads and I'm anticipating problems getting the caliper back over the rotor because of the new thick pads. Are there ways for me to compress the calipers or something? Thanks again. You guys are the best.

Alex
