My jeep must be magical, I have been pounding at my disk for 30 minutes now, and it just isnt budging... my other side was nice and loose, but this side is not moving at all... I have never seen this happen? has this happened to anyone else before?

 

They can get frozen to the hub,try some penetrating oil and let it sit.

 

Yes I have done this also.. after 5min. of hitting with a mallet I sprayed the thing with penetrating oil... and still nothing.. it's actually quite comical in a way...if I didnt need this done today lol

 

When you say mallet do you mean rubber? get a sledge hammer.

 

LOL!.. my bud just told me the same thing.. i dont really wanna go using a sledghammer on a disk.. but I just tried jacking the car up using the disk.. and it still didnt budge so I guess i have no choice

 

Disc are cheap.about $28 at autoparts and lot less at the jy. You may even find it hard with a big sledgehammer,so get a bfh.

 

LOL!... I got a 4 foot like 15 pounder... that a good enough bfh for ya??

 

Penetrating oil or a little heat usually work good. But where you've already soaked it heat might give you a nice fire to roast marshmallows over at this point, so yeah... BFH.

 

Maybe,I hope.

 

HA!... well... my BFH! work... I never would have thought to resorting to sledgehammering a disk.. that like goes against all the rules I learned back at my AYES auto classes I had... I can't figure out why my 2001 cherokee has more rust issues than my 1990 Miata

 

Things just happen,at least you got it off.

 

since your in MI I'm guessing you use the Jeep in the winter more than the miata and Michigan still likes to use salt on the roads hence the Bagdad potholes on every road (im originally from MI)

 

someones in the military, i thought the pot holes in kirkuk were worse than the ones we came across in baghdad

 

was in the military, US Navy.

 

Heh, well to be honest.. the miata has experienced more winters than the jeep... I just found it really surprising the amount of under body rust on it
