[Shotimes] Rotor rusted to hub

[Robert Bruce]

Yup, just like Dave says.  Beat the crap out of it.  & don't fool with hitting the back side.  Break the rust loose by hitting the
front side.  After it's off, throw it away and get a new rotor. They are cheap as can be.

Use a bigger hammer, like a 5lb sledge.  It'll come off.  WAY easier than
replacing the entire hub/knuckle.

    I've about had it with this '91... it has more bizarre problems than any

other Taurus/Sable (3 SHO, 2 other) that I have worked on and gotten to 
know.  This time it's a rotor that appears to be rusted to the hub.  I've 
already tried hitting the back of it with a hammer, but it just stays put 
(even after putting some PB on it).  Any other suggestions would be 
appreciated.  For that matter, how much work would be involved replacing the

whole knuckle?  I don't want to do it, but if that's the only way to solve 
the problem.  I'm afraid the wheel bearing may be going anyway as it seems 
to have some play, but the halfshaft is also out (it failed too, a few 
months after the other side gave up).  I have no experience with the hub, 
and I've heard that the ABS sensors can be a real pain to get out without 
destroying them.
