4kq front rotor removal

[Doug Hill]

Dan,
Whe I did mine the first time I had a similar problem. I would say spray a
little wd-40 around the center of the roter and let it sit a bit then as
long as you have the caliper off that should be the only hing holding it on
give the roter a few taps it should come off.
