Hi, any suggestions on how to remove a rotor that is stuck to the hub on a 2002 C230K? Is there a special tool for doing this? Thanks

 

Yes, it's called a "big hammer". HA!
No, really, it depends on if you are planning to replace the rotor or not.
I never use the old rotors when replacing pads. Mercedes and BMW say not to,
but that's not the reason I do it regardless. You don't want to "turn" or machine
the old rotor on this car and you can get new rotors pretty cheap online or
elsewhere. I know I didn't exactly answer your question, but.........

 

WHICH ROTOR IS IT FRONT OR REARS????????????????????????????????????????????

 

Hi, front rotors, might as well give specifics for the rear as they will need service soonas well. Thanks much. While I'm at it, I may as well ask the community for a good parts source other than dealer.

 

I've had good luck with www.autopartswarehouse.com

Free shipping for orders over 50 bucks.

They ship fast and have a wide selection of all kinds of parts for our cars. And other cars and makes as well.

I've had this problem too. I remounted the wheel but left the mounting bolts slightly loose, so there is maybe 1/8" play. Then I lowered the car to allow the tire to touch the ground with a bit of the car weight on it. Then, while using a hydraulic floor jack only, move the car from side to side to break the bond between the rotor and hub. This as I said has worked for me for this and for unsticking an alloy wheel to a steel hub of the rotor. Be careful, and it may take a few minutes of shaking. Don't get too aggressive. Try putting a bit more weight on the tire if the shaking doesn't pop the rotor free at first.
