brake disc stuck

[Firas]

tried changing the front disc but it seems to have rusted in. any advise as to how get it off? would heat work?

whack it with a hammer doesnt matter if it crack etc as you will be replacing it

 

[Chrisjk]

Hammer!

 

[chrispy.clio]

A rubber mallet. Hit top then bottom and it will come off

Ha ha

rubber mallet, hitting top, bottom, left, right, untill it comes off.

 

[Henry]

use a block of wood at the back of it if you've not a mallet and don't want to risk breaking it

 

[sideways danny]

hit it HARD with a hammer on the front, on the hub bit as that's where it's sticking. 3 or 4 good hits there, then start knocking it off from behind and it should come easy

 

[sideways danny]

rubber mallet = chocolate teapot for this job

 

[James.f]

^ finally, someone who agrees, a hammer should be used,

 

[Firas]

kl so just hammer it off. only worry is will the disc brake? also anything else i should do that would make it easier eg wd40 etc?

 

[Icarus]

Just hammer it. If its absolutely proper stuck angle grind a 1" slit into it and smack a cold chissel down it. The disc will split all the way across the hub then just lift off.

Cheers

wont break, their strong parts, tap it from behind is easier, then youll notice it coming loose,

Just a thought - you have removed the retaining screws?

As said, hit it from behind, it will come off.

 

[Firas]

lol @ the Irish screwdriver!

My driver's side one was well-stuck on when changing discs last week.
Mate couldnt get it to budge at all so the club hammer + "stand back" worked a treat!
