i have a stuck brake rotor after a caliper locked up... when this happend the 2 hrs later the rim was still to hot to touch 5 hrs later it was still warm so it got pretty gosh darn hot.... anyways
besides the usual BFH and PBblaster any alternatives... i dont have access to a hot wrench to heat it up so thats out... some ideas i had were using a 3 jaw puller does anyone know if they amke them big enough or running some grade 8 bolts from behind thru the caliper mounting bolts to push Mr. Rotor forward
I want to get him off so I can replace him (i am sure at this point he is warped)
The other thing if anyone knows the asnwer i cant figure out how the caliper froze how it did
Here was the deal.. the inboard pad was bent and had an indentation wehre the lower caliper bolt had gone into the pad bending the pad causing it to stick
any idea how the caliper bolt cold interfear to cause that?
