Default Help! Unable to free OEM rotor from hub. Sprayed rotor-hub interface with penetrant.
<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/77447/oem_rotor.jpg"></center><p>Have banged on rear with hammer/wood block. Have tried rocking it and pulling it.

Yes, the retaining screw was removed. That was easy.

The StopTech install is on hold until I can get this off.

That black thing in background is ST-40 caliper. Picked this up locally from another TT guy last Fall.

Anyone have any tricks???
