Rear Rotor prob.

I can not got my rear rotors of my 73! I have heated, hit, pushed, pulled, begged and pleaded to try and get these suckers off. Is there some trick or are they welded on or something? Any info would be great.

There are rivits?!?!?!? so that would be a no. I feel like an @#$%. On a after market rotor do you need to replace those rivets?

Also, ensure that the parking brake is off (the shoes grab the inside of the rotor). Then adjust the parking brake even looser through the adjustment hole in the rotor.

Nope.

If you don't have the rivets, the biggest problem is usually what Steve mentioned...the parking brake shoes have to be *really* retracted because they will hold the rotors on if they aren't.
