Nice video, but I would be a bit worried about trying this on a car such as my Grand Am which has Aluminum steering knuckles.

I use this technique all the time. It’s so easy and saves so much hassle and time.

This technique was introduced to the DSM world around 1995. Before that owners were cutting rotors with cold chisels into pie shaped pieces to get them off. The threaded holes were useless.

So, yeah, a great technique to have in your arsenal.

And the best part was the sound effects. Nice use of simple machines to give you leverage.
