Re: brake tools?

Rust penetrant and a dead blow hammer usually does the trick for me.

>we used PB Blaster http://www.pbblaster.com/ let it sit and then massaged it with a 10 pounder.
even heated up the rotor, but it still won't budge.

In some extreme cases, I got an air hammer and equipped it with one of those fittings that has a flat end. After beating on the rotor with that in various spots, it usually breaks free alot of the rust deposits holding it to the hub.
