But if you look at it like I meant it, it makes sense. Using extensions between the ratchet and socket reduces the energy available at the bolt because the extensions will absorb it in the twisting of the metal. |

For anyone interested,
I bought a 3" extension for my 1/2" drive, didn't work Harbor freight had a offset mtric set for 15 bucks, a quick check and it seems like it will work! Now I know I'm about to find some serious hub rotor rust, and my rotors do not have the 8mm holes. How do I get the rotor off? I read hit between the lugs with a hammer? Any ideas |

Either use a hammer combo, ballpein and deadblow resting the ballpein on the rotor and hitting it instead of the rotor, or use the screws. You may want to soak the rotor and hub area with PB Blaster to eat up some of the rust to help. Try not to hit the wheel studs or you'll have to replace the one that gets smacked.

Put the lug nuts back on to protect the stud threads from hammer whoopsies. They will also keep the rotor from springing off and falling on your toe once you bust the rust lock.

Well I didt even get that far on both sides. Broke off a caliper bolt, and I don't have the tools to rethread and drill it out. Off to the shop, this is no fun. My next car I will make sure to be rust free
