Getting old..

[Joizee camper]

2014 Ram 2500 6.4L 95,000miles. Ordered Powerstop brake pads and rotors(z23 kit with geomet rotors)started installation this morning. It took over two hours to get the dang rotor off!! 1/2 a bottle of mapp gas - Kroil - hammer... repeat... I'm getting too old for this sheet, lol . Starting the driver side tomorrow, I soaked the ever-loving peez out of that rotor. Hopefully that one will be uneventful. Just a note, the inside pads on both driver and passenger front were stuck hard against the rotor and wore uneven. The caliper slides were in great shape so maybe the pad slides weren't lubricated well. Wish me luck!

With 95000 miles there is a good chance the calipers themselves are sticking, the pistons get crusted up and hang up. Whenever I had a disc brake stick on, that was the problem. Good luck!!

you cant blame the truck. after 10yr and all them miles you will have seized parts if you didnt do any preventative maintenance in the past

Force the rotor off with a jacking bolt placed in the caliper mounting hole.

When ever I have done anything to my trucks the next person is likely to be cussing me because they and their tools will have a nice silver patina on them from the never seize.
