Mazda 6: EXTREME Brake Rotor Removal
video description
To keep the rotor from flying off I would have put those lug nuts partially on there just to keep the thing from come flying off, it looked like a bomb was underneath that rotor, I couldn't stop laughing so hard I popped A muscle hurting me in the ribs, poor Mrs O she thought you had just major accident, keep up the great work Eric we love watching your videos.

Just use some heat my friend. I had a wheel that was rusted on. the car could not roll under its own power currently. So i dropped the car on block of wood, the wheel didn't move. So i put all of the weight on half the tire, and ran around the wheel with a blow torch. It inched off by 1 mm and stopped. I kicked the living hell out of it and BAM, it came off.

I was pulling a fly wheel off a 1979 cx500 honda motorcycle, deformed the grade 8 nuts on the puller. got the torch. when it went it was like a gunshot. Sucker would have broken my leg had I not been standing to the side. Hit a wall 4 foot away, seemed to have only dropped about 1 inch in altitude during its flight. Scary af.

I did a wheel bearing a month or so ago and had to get out the grinder and cutting wheel and cut the damn rotor off. Didnt have a puller tool. Busted the rotor to pieces with a sledge before cutting it off. Pennsylvania cars are always fun to work on.

Working on a Mazda requires cat like reflexes yup. Some day you might lose an eye, other days some teeth, just depends on how the rotors bounce. It's a lot like football. Glad the twig and berries are all good. Very entertaining and informative video.

Grew up in michigan. How did I get rotors off in my driveway? Have new studs on hand because you get the biggest hammer you can get and smack that bad boy until it submits.

Might wanna try putting longer screws in before you start pulling, it should catch it by the heads before your wedding tackle does! Safety Third!

Yeah I didnt understand how that strap was supposed to help either. Seems like it needs to wrap in back of the control arm or something.
