Default Re: 96 Accord LX Front Rotor Removal ???

I tried to remove that hub nut with a hydraulic floor jack under a
ratchet wrench, and all I managed to do was break the wrench. I tried it
with a regular fixed wrench, and when it started to bend I gave up.
Because once you remove than nut off, the rotor is still pressed in, so
you need an extractor to pull it out.

It ended up costing me CAD$150 in labour at my mechanic, and even he
complained that one of the rotors was a pain to take off, it was THAT
stuck...
