Echo RS Brake Job In Progress

The front wheels haven't been off in 4 yrs, and I live in a place where they salt the roads in winter. Looks like the mags are nicely corroded on to the rotors. Any hints on good ways to get them off without damaging the mags?

Aww, forget it, WD-40 and some good hard boots with my shoes, back and forth bashing with my hands and bit of patience got them both off.

thanks!

lol, alum. wheels and rotor rust shouldnt matter.....i tried to take my steelies off last week to rotate the tires and i had to run to CT for some penetrating oil......still had to reef on the rims w/ a rubber mallet to get them loose.....serves me right for doing the last rotation in march w/ 6" of snow on the ground!
