I'm trying to replace the rear rotors on my '01, but the passenger side is rusted in place on the axle badly enough that I've been unable to move it. There's very little room in there to swing a hammer due to the rear suspension being in the way, and I've tried to hold the rotor in place with the brakes and then put it in Drive and Reverse to try to use the drivetrain's torque to make the rotor turn on the hub ever so slightly (that's usually how I break loose rusted drums), but to no avail.
I've thought about yanking the axle shaft out of there, but that's more work than I really wanted to do, plus I'm not sure if I can push the axle in far enough to get the C-clip off. I know you can't with drums, but I've never tried it with discs.
So, anybody got any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Nathan
