No c clip in them? I use to pulling chevy rearends apart what's jeep using a bearing retainer on the end .

I have not tried... I would do the backwards rotor but mine are brand new slotted and drilled rotors. I'm soaking over night to see if that helps. If not tomorrow I don't know what to do

Had the same problem. Use a very large ply bar and apply outward pressure on the axle flange. At the same time have someone use the slide hammer. The seal is stuck in the tube and flexes enough that the slide hammer alone cannot pop it free. Having the pressure from the pry bar allows the slide hammer to do its job.

I'll give it a shot I bent a pry bar and a claw hammer today

If your getting frustrated and it can wait till tomorrow walk away and come back at it when you got a clear mindset. I've done this plenty of times with my dragster otherwise you'll just make it worse or mash you hand beating on it

I stopped at 5 today and have been applying PB blaster every hour since. Hopefully soaking overnight will give it the chance to loosen and do its job.

Backwards rotor as a slide hamer always works for me. Typically 1-2 hard pulls is all it takes, the weight of the rotor really helps.

The backwards rotor I can't do cause mine are literally brand new and I'm not beating on it with a hammer but i do have a slide hammer and threat has not worked as of yet

Do you still have your old rotors you could use instead of the new ones?

You need to keep lots of pressure on the pry bar while someone else uses the slide hammer.
