Rotor tool works great.

There was a homemade rotor removal tool on ebay last week so I made one up. The one on ebay was too short. I made mine 36 inches long which allowed it to use the ground as a lever. Made removal/installation of the rotor a snap. It would have been better if a second person stood on the end of the tool while torqueing the bolt. Took about 15 minutes to make the tool....chris3
