Help with rotor(s) replacement
After spraying & waiting, hammering on the front/sides/back could not dislodge the front rotor. Looked in the manual for help and really nothing popped out. There are no retainers on the studs. Do I just keep hammering from the back?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

You need a zip gun/air hammer ....whatever you want to call it. Use a flat faced bit and hammer around the face of the rotor...around the wheel studs. It will pop loose eventually from the vibration.....or continue beating the crap out of it with a hammer and ruin the rotor and possibly a hub bearing. Good luck!!

Pickup two 10mm X 1.25 bolts approximately and inch and a half in lenth, and there should be two tapped holes between the wheel studs they'll fit into. Tighten evenly, 1/4-1/2 turn at a time. They should come right off without any significant beating. Worked like a champ for me after trying the hammer-and-hardwood approach with no success.

Sorted every out and I was able to complete the brake work. NAPA's Ultra Premium Rotors & Pads - Nearly 9,000 miles since installation and the H3 stops really great. I would recommend this setup for your H3.
