I could most likely still thread some nuts on to it. I didn't mess the threads up too bad. I have a small map gas torch i could use. I was hoping the pb blaster would help after letting it soak overnight.

At this point i put the old rotor back on, wheel back on and it's sitting in the driveway until tomorrow. Thanks for all the tips so far.

yeah get a couple of nuts on there. if you need to run a die on the threads to get it cleaned up enough to do so, do it.

Well i couldn't find any place local that carries Kroil, so i soaked it with PB blaster. I will let it soak over night and start fresh in the morning. It seems really stuck in there. So with the two bolt system should i still use some heat as well? This was really the last thing i figured i needed to worry about. I was sure the rotor screws were going to give me the most trouble. Well maybe they will on the next three
