Rotors always get stuck, due to rust. A ball peen hammer and good aim work wonders. You have to hit the rotor hub kn between the lugs a few times and they should pop off.

Here I end up trashing the rotors /and calibers . (with the usuall over 100000 on donor ) Its just easier. I paid $100 for complete set while ogo . But they have had no other blazers truck to get them off of since .

How much bigger in diameter are these rotors over a stock G-body? Any clearance issues inside 15" wheels? I'm thinking of doing this swap along with an F-body rear disk setup for the rear. I've heard the rear might have slight clearance issues. Hopefully that should be a good brake balance to start with then tweak with a proportioning valve.

IIRC they are 11in, but they also use a much better caliper with dual pistons. Its also much easier to upgrade to corvette brakes. They should fit most stock 15in rims without issue.

if the blazer brakes your talking about is only 1/2" larger than the stock g-body rotors. stock g-body is 9.5" and that s10 is 10".

and the camaro rear discs are 12" rotors

I run the Blazer fronts and LS1 Rears on my car. My stock 15" alum wheels ( in my sig ) clear the brakes with little to spare but they do fit. I tried to put on the stock 15" steelies for the winter storage and they will not fit over the LS1 rear brakes

I was told g-body rotors are 10.5" and the blazer are 11"
