    Today's Fiasco

    I go to replace my rear brake rotor and pads today. I get the wheel and caliper off lickity split, no problem. I then continue to beat the rotor mercilessly with no sign of it moving an inch.

    Finally, I break the seal!



    Time to pull this fucker off and put on my new Stop Techs.



    *tries grabbing brake and pulling and it won't come off...more pounding ensues*

    It won't come off still!



    Why is this not coming off?! I know, I'll call Jeremy and see if he has any pro tips as I've never ran into this problem before.



    *calls Jeremy* Jeremy has no idea either? WTF?!?!



    I then get a hammer and a hatchet and profusely beat the rotor until it falls off and I come down to my knees in tears...only to notice one thing....










    THE EBRAKE IS ON....

    I was dual wielding with the hammer and hatchet. (I used the rear/blunt side of the hatchet obviously ) I didn't have any intent on reusing that rotor.

    You shall most definitely receive a call if another instance like this takes place. I was ready to throw that hammer through every window in my vehicle.
