So a couple weeks ago I was working on my ex girlfriend's car and for the life of me, I just could NOT get that damn brake rotor off. I tried every trick in the book, torch, penetrating oil (Several types) hammering, old fashioned tugging and pulling, and prying. Not a single one would budge it.
Finally I took a 10lb weight plate from my benchpress bar, put it against the wheel studs and then used a c clamp on one side to hold it tight against the rotor and put my ball joint press c clamp on the other side and popped it off that way.
My question is, does anybody make a tool similar to the setup I used that doesn't require 5 hands to set up? I think it'd be pretty darn useful.
Edit: Just found this on amazon, but it's not quite what I was looking for. http://www.amazon.com/Eastwood-Brake-Drum-Remover/dp/B003IWTL6G/?tag=959media-20
