    Frt brake rotor stuck - removal?
    Hello,

    When the front brake rotors on my 2001 Accord were stuck and had to be forcibly removed, I found that the bolt which clamps the brake line to the strut fit the rotor hole exactly, and within 2 minutes had the rotors off.

    Does anyone know if this same design exists in any other model year Accords?

    Thanks,
    thefourthwall

    Likely the same. Were your rotors rusted on?

    Yeah, they were :-( Would a bit of grease on the hub flange fix that for next time the rotor needs to come off?

    Be sure to clean all of the old rust off the disk and the hub; otherwise, it can cause lateral run out (LRO) and affect braking. You can give grease a try.

    I would use "Copper Slip" not grease.

    Ok. What makes it better than grease for this kind of application?
