I've got an '89 750il with 150k; trying to replace front rotors but they won't budge. Have tried brute strength in addition to lubricating with wd40 to no avail. During the fiasco I broke off a small piece of the rotor. The only thing I haven't tried is heating it with a torch. What do you all suggest?


first the obvious question: did you remove the small torx screw on the face of the rotor that holds the rotor onto the hub even when all of the lug bolts are removed?

If so, and it still so stuck that you can't budge it, can you get a hammer and punch/chistle on the back and wack away? If not, how about a gear puller?
