Thank you for your suggestion of using an M8 screw.

Does this bolt go in the same hole that holds the set screw which seats the rotor on the hub?

Does using the M8 screw create pressure against the hub which causes the rotor to lift off the hub?

Or do you use the bolt as a lever-something to grag which helps loosen the rotor?

PS My donation was made on the first inquriy. Her's another one.

Thanks,

Here is a pic of where to put the M8 bolt to help pull the rotor off. you will see where it is pointed to put the bolt and there may be another threaded hole on across from it too so you equally pull the rotor off. Just put the bolt in and slowly tighten the bolt and it will push against the hub and pull the rotor off. You can use mild heat with a propane torch to help. Here is the pic.
