Re: 1999 V70 Front end howl

Thanks for all the help. I did remove the guide pin. After a little PB50 Blaster (recommended by a friend), the rotor came right off with part of a 2x4 and a sledge. I literally get home about an hour before it gets dark and I'm garageless with a gravel driveway, so this has been a slow process ...
