Last year, I struggled with the rear brakes on the '89 244 I bought non-running and without history. I survived the stuck e-brake shoes and all then.

Now it was time for new front pads and rotors. I thought this would be easier. Silly, I know. After fighting all the rust, I was able to get the pins and caliper bolts to come out on one side. Then the rotor was persuaded off with the help of a hammer and a wooden block.

Side two was even worse getting the pad pins out, but after some help from a dremel, they got punched out. Caliper bolts weren't so bad on that side. But the rotor will NOT budge. It is clearly rusted right to the hub. (Yes, I did remove the two screws through it: made that mistake at the bone yard last year!) I have banged it from behind with the wood block till my arm was tired. So I tried hose it with PB Blaster where it might get into the touch points and left it for the night.

Any creative ideas would be appreciated.
