I had to beat the living sh!t out of the front rotors on the Kluger recently. When I dropped my BA cradle the other week, the rears were the same.

I think what you are experiencing is pretty normal!

The shoes will try and come with the disc. that's why you rotate the disc as you pull towards yourself. If you just use the puller you WILL break something.

The adjuster is at 4 or 2 oçlock, cant remember which one It's not directly in line with the hole, more towards the outside.it works the same as a nut which you turn with a flat blade screw driver- its right hand thread & as you turn it the 'bolt' part (which has a slot cut into it to engage onto the brake shoe) can't turn so the 'nut' force's the bolt out of it's hole taking up the excess adjustment, turning the 'nut' the other way will release the adjuster & the rotor should come off. If the rotor is lose on the hub I WOULDN'T use a puller as you are forcing the' over adjusted" brake shoe over a lip that has worn inside the disc   (similar to the lip on the outer edge of the rotor in your picture)

Thanks for everyone's comments here's where I'm up to

I was rotating the rotor clockwise, trying to take it off


So what do? Keep on doing pulling it out and rotating it?

The new rotor has The Adjustment hole in the same place as the old rotor, I can't find it where the adjuster is

Keep going till it comes off. Note the position so you can put the new rotor on the same. As soon as the rotor is off, you will see the adjuster.

Put adjustment hole next to the large hole on axle.

Adjust brake shoes to 189mm at the widest point.   Then rotate new discs as you install them..
