Re: Stuck Rotor
I used to use Liquid Wrench, switched to PB Blaster, seems to work a bit
better. Many folks like Kroil, doesn't seem to be available around here.

Liquid Wrench is great stuff and has worked wonders for me. Ditto PB
Blaster. But the best all time stuck part solution is Break Free CLP,
available anywhere firearms are sold.

Actually after reading what you wrote again I have a question.
When you say "hammer" do you mean a wood type claw hammer? If so, those
are only made for nails. To move stuck parts you need a tool more like
this. http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=15901
A "dead blow hammer" will transfer much more energy.
