Floris,
Stick to the acetone to loosen the super glue. I am not crazy about boiling the rotor while it sits on the bottom of the pan, which has to be hotter than the 100 degree C water in order for the water to continue to boil. I suppose you could suspend the rotor in the midst of the boiling water and thus avoid the over heated bottom, but, why bother? I am concerned with the rotor warping, as aluminum responds to temperature very nicely. It probably won't happen, but if such actually occurred, you would then have to pay a machinist to bore and true the warped rotor. While this is not a disaster, it is just another expense that could easily be avoided. Be patient with the acetone. Give it time to work. The super glue with become soft and sticky and eventually give way. Additionally, the acetone will not harm the aluminum and obviously, cannot warp it. It will actually help get the rotor squeaky clean. While you are messing with the stuff, keep in mind that breathing the fumes of acetone is not a really good thing to do and it can be easily absorbed through the skin, so take the appropriate precautions.
