Can't get rear brake rotor off. Need to check parking brake shoes. Need assistance. 200 87

posted by  someone claiming to be Mr. Tool on  Mon Jun 4 03:18 CST 2001 [RELATED]

Hi all:

I have a 1987, 240 wagon, 213,000 miles, BF230 eng. Auto Transm.

I'm trying to get the rear brake rotors off the car.

In all this mileage and years the rear rotors have never been of the car.

This is a Michigan car with lots of salt and rust in the winter.

I have loosened the parking brake cable at the parking brake lever (between the 2 front seats).

I have removed the rear brake caliper and the small pin/bolt that holds the rotor to the hub (this is the pin that goes thru hole in the steel wheel to make sure the tire goes back on in the same posistion).

I have applied lots of heat (2 propane torchs) to the center of the rotor and all the wheel studs.

I have applied PB Blaster and let it soak.

I have banged and banged with a steel hammer to loose thing up.

This rotor will not pull off.

It will not even move or loosen at all.

I need some addition thoughts and ideas.

All help will be appreciated.

Thanks...Mr. Tool
