Brake Rotor
After a week of almost daily applications of penetrating oil and beating on the drivers side front rotor, I still couldn't break it free. So last saturday I scored it hoping that it would flex enough that I could get it loose. Still no joy. I've been busy or it's been raining all week (and it's dark out when I get home making any work I want to do more of an ordeal), so finally today I removed a section of it and stuck a cold chisel beneath it and that freed it almost effortlessly. Sigh. Now I know that the angle grinder is a much more effective tool than the "engineers" hammer in a situation like this.
