Removing A Stuck Disc Brake Rotor/Drum

Here's a quick tip on how to remove a rusted or seized disc brake rotor or drum if it has threaded holes in the body.

Many times brake drums and rotors have a tendency to get stuck and can be difficult to remove. Sometimes tapping them with a hammer can release them, other times they are too stuck.

With a quick inspection you might be able to find a quick and easy way to remove these components, many times for just a few dollars instead of having to buy a drum/disc puller.

If you happen to have a brake drum or disc rotor that is giving you fits, hopefully this little trick will help you out. It does make the job much easier and quicker if you have two bolts to works with instead of trying to use one and swapping it between holes. If that's all you have, many times you can make that work.
