I just got done replacing the rotors on my 2012 cx9. What a horrible job, should have been easy, but both front rotors were rusted seized to the hub. Drivers side took me 3 hours to get the rotors off. I ended up using something i saw on YouTube. Using a bolt, couple of nuts and washer. Our into caliper bracket mounting hole in spindle and use it to push rotors off. I tried it on the other side and ended up bending the piece on the spindle that the caliper bracket mounts too, bottom one. I ended up having to get a 5 ton gear puller to get the rotor off, and even that didn't work right away.

My question is, is there any possible way to get that bent back. After I got it back together there is rubbing going on. Not sure if it will wear in some and be useable or not.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

 

Doubt it...Best get to the wreckers, as you dont want to stuff around with brakes.

 

I bought a cylinder of the map gas, yellow can. Used heat on both sides for a few minutes, started gently tapping with 2lb hammer. I did this 3 or 4 times, I did use a little more force the second time on. Not full on swings, but decent. I was able to get the piece almost back into perfect position, maybe 1 or 2 mm off. After putting it all back together, it was enough, rubbing and scrapping is gone.
