1971 Plymouth Duster Rotors and calipers

That is false, an urban legend, a myth, that seems to never end for some people.

There is nothing special in the way a wheel stud is fastened to the hub and a rotor on the two piece systems.

The stud just presses in and out from the two in seperating them from one another.

All that you need to do is put the assembly, the stud, under the ram of the press, and press away.
A few pumps, and the stud is out, in your hand.

I do not know why to this day and age, a few think that there some hardship in doing this.

Easy as pie.

This assumes that a previous installation was done properly. I've seen some pretty interesting and sometimes scary repairs done to cars. I've had a few of these rotors that were heavily staked around the studs to where you had to use a cutter to remove it or you might damage the hub. I've even seen studs that were tack welded to the hub by some knuckehead in the past! After a new rotor plate is properly attached to the hub, I would check the runout on a brake lathe and turn it if it needs it. With the replacement rotors being made in China (or even if they're not) you never know for sure how true they are.
