Hey everyone. I decided to take up the job of replacing my rear rotors and brake pads. I have a 98 Camaro and rust has been an issue. I got the drivers side rotor off no problem but the passenger side has been a huge problem. In thinking maybe that I could just pry it off I bent some of the assembly behind the wheel mount. It all looks like stuff that can just be unbolted and new parts put on, but I was having problems finding diagrams on Google. I'm Hoping I didnt do serious damage to it.

 

Use some penetrant like PB Blaster on the center hub to rotor area. Make sure there are no lock rings on any of the wheel studs. Spin the axle and smack the back side of the rotor with a mallet to try and break it free.

 

Yeah I got the lock rings off. Wheels won't turn tho. I have the car in park tho, emergency brake off. I'll try putting the car into neutral when I get home. I suppose I should have expected this as this is the first time I have ever undertaken such a project. Have tried to follow everything Ive seen on installuniversity.com to a tee.
