1999 Lincoln Rear Disk Rotor Removal

Sent to Car Experts May 29, 2005 2:56 p.m.

on a 1999 Licoln continental, I can't remove the rear rotor, it seems to be frozen in place. Is it possible I have to remove the center bearing Nut first. The new rotor only has a large opening in the center so it doesn't appear like I should have to.

Maybe there are two different versions for that rear rotor.

It's just corroded around the hub. Spray some penetrating oil around the hub and hit it with a hammer from the rear.

I appreciate the quick response.
However, I've already done the obvious stuff like soak it in penetrating oil on both sides and I hit the heck out of it with a hammer. I even applied some heat with a torch but I stopped because the penetrating oil started to catch on fire.

It's only after I tried all this and looked at pictures of two different rotor types that I asked my question. One oicture looked like the replacement I bought and the other has the middle hole attached to a collar of some type. Therefore I am worried that the middle collar is actually part of the rotor. Either way I need to know how to get it off without ruining anything else.

I don't have a picture readily available here. I will have to research it tomorrow.
