My husband is trying to replace the rotors and pads on my daughters car. The front driver side rotor came off fine but the passenger side wouldn't budge. He finally cracked the steering knuckle and I picked one up from the junk yard today. They gave it to me with the rotor still on it and now he can't get it off either. Is there a trick to it?

There is no trick. It is corroded on. Has he tried heat?
