I have tried to remove the hub bolts using several punch and hammer techniques and managed to get two off on one side after breaking numerous punches? Is there any easier way to remove these?

 

are you talking about the cone washers??
if so heat them with a torch then lightly tap the side and they will fly like pop corn!

 

The best way I have found for removing the conewashers is to thread the nuts onto the studs so the nut and stud are flush on the end (to protect the stud threads) and hammer the studs and the conewashers pop right out. I hope this makes sense!

 

if you have ADD, just take a hammer and whack the edge of the ADD plate...
they should come loose and you wont hurt that plate any...

if its manual hubs, then do as they said and LIGHTLY tap on the studs... whack then hard like the junkyard did when pulling a set off of a truck for me and they will have dents all around the hub body...

hope that helps...

 

since the thread title say replacing the rotors i'm thinking hes talking about the bolts holding the rotors to the hub....


try PB blaster and a brass hammer.
