Camaro Rear Disk Removal

I am using an 84? disc brake rear end out of a Camaro. Shouldn’t the rotors “just” slide off? I’m beating on them pretty good and there not moving.

Thanks for the help!!!

I'm not real familiar with the disc brake rears, there aren't possibly any countersunk screws securing the rotor to the axle??? Some of the Metric rears with drum brakes had little spring washers screwed on the threads to hold the rotor in place. If not, try a little penetrating oil on the rotor where it seats on the axle end, they have a tendency to build corrosion in there. When all else fails, try a torch with a heating tip and a low flame. Heat the rotor at the point where it attaches to the axle....

I didn't see anything holding the rotor on....

Hmmm. Well if there's no screws or locks, then it must just be stuck due to corrosion, heat, and miles. Might try letting it soak for awhile...and if that doesn't work, try some heat

Use Dave's idea with a low heat flame. These rotors on this model were purposely machined for a tight fit. Almost an interference fit....very close on specs. When you get them off (and you will), emery cloth, wire brush, or what ever will be needed on the hub and rotor contact areas to get the application to be workable again for the next time. And it insures good mating surfaces again when reinstalled.

tourch it is.....thanks for the help!
