    I won't have access to the shop again till Sunday night at the very earliest, and more likely not till Monday night, and if not then, then Wednesday. Kinda stinks not having your own place to work on stuff.

      Beat it like it owes you money. It'll come free. Soak, beat, repeat.

                  So what the hell, you get that thing off there or what?

                  I could bring my gold plated goat over. It has special gold goat powers that will increase your strength ten-fold. You'll be able to take that thing off there with your teeth. Or eyelids, if you wish.

                      I know ... drill 4 or so holes through the rotor, attach ropes, and tie those to a friend's car and attempt to jerk the rotor off.

                            Success! I turned the lugnuts back onto the studs to protect them, and then just beat the crap out of it with a BFH until it broke loose. I installed the new rotor and goobered it up real well with antiseize so that hopefully if I need to get the rotors off again at some point, I'll be able to.

                            And the best part is, the brakes are smooth, now! No more pulsating brake pedal.

                            Thanks, guys.

                                Next time, just use this:
