I have a 2001 TL and recently replaced the rotors with some Duralast (Autozone) rotors. I am also currently replacing my struts and upper control arms. While doing so I wanted to re-check the rotors to see how they were doing and they were rusted to the spindle and it took me about an hour of tapping on them to get them off. Is there any good rust prohibitor that will handle the high temperature and not come off on the rotor surface? Any suggestions?

I just smack mine with a rubber mallet and they come off real quick.

I use anti-seize....below is the product description...never had a problem taking any rotor off that I applied anti-seize on...notice the text that are highlighted in blue...and don't let the food in the name fool you, they recently changed the name...it is great on cars....you can get the regular anti-seize, but this one is like it was designed to keep the rotor from sticking to the hub being that it is for high heat applications

Thanks,

That is what I did. Put a little anti-sieze on them and they seem to be doing fine. I am not getting the rust build up as it did before really quickly.
