PEH,

Yeah, I caught your drift. I might be heading that way, but I looked at the CD-ROM manual a bit more and found how to release the parking brake. Although the disk would rotate freely, I suspect that the parking brake is jamming the rotor.

Then again, the line where the rotor seats on the hub is pretty darn rusted. I tried a penetrant, but it had no effect.

If I do crack the rotors off, what do you think about grinding two break lines in the disk part (down to the hub flange) before I apply the sledge?

I have all the parts to rebuild the rotor and parking brake so I'm not concerned about damaging them.

Thanks much,

Sholin
