Rusted stuck rotor!!! Any advice?

[humdogj]

My rear rotor seems to be seized on. I’ve beaten with a small sledgehammer. It doesn’t seem to want to budge. Any advice because my wife is at her wits end with my diy brake job

Got it! Like a dumbass I had the parking brake on. Live and learn. Feels good.

The good news is that lesson didn’t really cost you anything. I have had a few lessons thag were pretty expensive

Tell me you're going to replace that rotor!

No judgment from me…rotor removal can be difficult even w/o the parking brake engaged!

Glad you got it. I was going to suggest a bigger hammer.

So what a weekend. New rotors and new pads were $225. Labor was free. Lessons learned were priceless. Loving the Jeep again. Thanks everyone for listening.
