I recently bought a 1985 Olds Toronado Broughm

I recently got this nice 85 Olds Toronado Brougham with 220000 supposed miles. I am replacing pads and rotors all around. I understand a car this old, alot of things can freeze up, etc from not being used regularly. BUT I cannot and I Mean Cannot remove back rotors to save my soul! Front ones were fine, and finished in no time. I have lubed, Heated, hammered, and finally got out the sledge! There is no screw, bolt, etc . I verified rotors are same back and front. What Could I possibly be doing wrong? I mean- NO BUDGE at all!

Can you post a picture of the rear rotor?

That is 22,000. not 220000 miles. But as it doesnt have to be actual after 10 yrs old here, who knows. Will get pics in a few. Just got off work.

Here is a pic of new and the ones on the rear.

You have to remove those sliding pins and caliper....

Since you are replacing the rotors, ok to whack the rotors from the back side....

I would think he would have done that. This is wife. I'll let him know. That'* , let'* see what happens!!

Yesterday when he was doing this he had the caliper and the pins taken off in order to remove the pads. They were hanging to the side. So they we're not still on when he tried for about 2 hours to bang the rotor off. The the only reason they are on in the picture is because he had put it back together because he did not want everything getting wet as we were expecting a storm.

Sounds familiar: https://www.gmforum.com/saturn-204/2...me-off-310121/

Since this thread I've done some research and found videos where they "press" the rotors off by pressing from the caliper bracket.

Here'* one:
I haven't tried it yet for various reasons including inattentive Uber drivers, but hopefully will be in the next few weeks.

If that doesn't work, I'll be using the cutoff wheel on my angle grinder.

My husband finally pounded out the studs themselves. There was truly truly no other choice. he'* on his way to pick up new studs now he is actually replace them on another vehicle so knows how to do it took him 2 minutes to get them off that was it. Thanks guys

Thanks for letting us know how it came out!
