I have a 2000 Saleen with Cobra rear brakes. I can not for the life of me remove the rotor. Is there something special I have to remove other than the usual caliper bolts? Thanks!

Well, good you got it off. I was going to say that rust between the rotor hat and the hub will cause difficult removal. A couple of good whacks with a plastic dead blow will usually knock 'em loose.

I put a peice of wood on my rotors and then beat on it with a hammer. They rust to the hub and can be a PITA to get off.
