My front rotor wont come off

Yes gimp, just go ahead and beat the hell out of the rotor until until it shatters into pieces. Also don't worry about ruining anything else, you can just replace it...... right?

i've done this hundreds of times at my job along with other mechanics. there was only one problem and that was cuz of a set of pads wore out pre maturely(sp?). lexus are the wrost for sticking rotors

Would you care to post the name of your shop, so that those of us who do things the correct way, can stay far away from your shop.

Thanks.

actually i would since our shop advertises thru word of mouth, we must be doing something right since we've been in the bizz since 1976

Well I "bit the bullet" after quitting on the drivers side and finding the same problem on the pass side. Had to buy new hubs after a can of wd-40, a alot of elbow grease, map gas, and a broken sledge hammer I got the old hubs/rotors off just in time for work On to the rear

WD-40 is: Water Displacement Formula #40...... it is not a penetrant for rust.
It was originally designed to displace water. Next time use PBlaster, it is specifically designed to penetrate. It works 10 times better than the other stuff.

Sounds like you need to listen to some of the advice in this thread from people who actually have a good sense of mechanical aptitude.

Please DO NOT suggest bad advice to anyone anymore.

What I was going to say. 3-in-1 oil, Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster, but not WD-40. WD-40 is a nice light lubricant and rust preventative.

actualy it was some stuff made by seafoam, got the rears done today only problem there were the caliper bolts.
