Reading occasionally about frozen rotors and drums got me thinking, so what do you think of this?
Install wheel and tighten lug nuts about finger tight, then back off about a half turn each. Now, rolling the vehicle at slow speed and stabbing the brakes I am thinking would force the rotor or drum to shear the rust and shift on the hub until the studs stopped it, but by then it should be loose. Might have to do it forward and reverse a couple times, but wouldn't that break the rust loose?
What do you think? Am I missing something?
