Changing my 4 brembo rotors (Brembo rotors and pads) at the.moment for DBA 4000 slotted rotors and ferodo ds performance pads.

 

I'm stuck at taking the rotor off. I put some WD40 on the studs.

 

do I have to do anything with the handbrake pretensioner?

 

Can I just wack the rotor off with a larger 3lb hammer?

it'll be rusted on.... not unusual for the rear to be a PITA get get off. Either a big gear puller or a lot of hard work with a hammer to work it loose.

Thanks guys

 

Yes handbrake is off

 

I'm slowly working it off. It seems to be tighter around the adjuster bolt. I tried to loosen it but nothing happened.

You can loosen at the bolt at the tunnel.  Only hit with a soft blow hammer.  And turn either clockwise or anticlockwise as you pull them off.  One of those directions will come off easier.

Sounds like you have to back the hand brake adjustment off. (if its moving you broken the rust 'seal') It's the toothed wheel at around 2 or4 oçlock through the hole between the wheel studs

Hi mate

It feels as if when I'm taking the rotor off the hand brake lining wants to come with it

I can't find the adjuster you are mentioning

I can find two of these, I think we are talking about different things

I could put a video up to show everyone03248c607cd574d3aad7e75f32c55dd8.jpg

I've got a big gear puller, are you sure this is ok?

yep, ideally it'd be a 4 jaw puller, but that'd do the job if it's not slipping as you tighten it. Assuming you're not re-using the brake disc, it's fine to damage it in pulling it off. Just a warning, there'll be a loud sound as you pull it off, using this method (I've done it a few times haha).
