Just my 2 cents..................  |
so..yeah.. the rotor can be VERY hard to get off. The shaft is slotted and a tab on the inside of the rotor fits into it so they turn as one unit. Since it is a pressfit, the spec calls for the rotor to be locktited on... which means its basically glued on. The manual says to put two screwdrivers under opposite sides of the rotor and pry it up... I found that warming up the rotor with a heatgun softens the locktite so it comes off easier, but be careful not to cook the electronics under the rotor...
