Im replacing the rear rotors & pads on my girlfriends 1989 Prelude. The calipers are off & i got the 2 rotor mounting screws out (those are always difficult), but the rotor will not come off.

i've gone as far as using a crowbar to get some leverage & bust them off, & i cant get them to budge.

any suggestions??

get 2 bolts the same size as the retaining screw and screw them in until the rotor pops off

there might be two holes other than where the screws go specifically for this purpose, I am not sure on a 89 though

 

hammer...and a big one. GL i hate it when thing don't go as planned.

there are two holes there, each of them 90 degrees from the rotor mounting screw holes, & i tried that, & sheared off the head of the bolt...
