I am replacing my rear rotors of my 1996 C280 sport.
I removed the wheel, the caliper, also the hex bolt that holds the rotor and then tried to pull out the rotor and nothing. Any suggestions?
What am I missing here? Is it just stuck and rusted or..?
I did try even to hammer it a few times and nothing , the rotor stays at place.
Please, advise.
Thanks in advance!

 

try releasing the parking brake.

 

I have released the parking brake and still nothing. Any other suggestions I would appreciate .

 

I pm'ed you but as I said get a hammer and hit the front of the rotor all around and wack it hard, it is just rusted on.If that doesnt work get a bigger hammer.

 

All is good guys! I got it out finally.
I just needed a bigger hammer.A few hard times pounding on the rotor and prying at the same time with the pry bar and it came off.

Hi guys,

Am new to this forum! i have a question, am trying to remove my rear rotor on my c230 and i tried pounding on it and hammer it but nothing happen? i also tried to loose the star thing for the parking brake shoes and release the parking brake to. Do i just need to hammer harder??

thanks

 

hit it as hard as you can it will come off

 

Get some pb blaster and spray around the hub area. Get some sand paper and sand the hub area to get the rust off. Use a 2 pound hammer. Hit both towards the hub and away.
