    Stuck front rotors

    The front rotors on my B7 are stuck on really tight. I hate to take a hammer to them for fear of damaging the wheel brearings. Maybe I'll try an air hammer. I'm also feeling that heat would not be good for the grease in the hub. Is there a better penetrent oil than liquid wrench? Any ideas would be appreciated.

    I honestly just moved a torch around the inner part for a minute or two and it popped off with a hammer, otherwise it was impossible

    If you’re afraid of smacking it with a hammer (it’ll be fine), the penetrant stuff I use is called Free All, and it’s the best, fastest one I’ve ever used. Heat for a brief time will also be fine.
