brake discs

[Big Iain]

How fuckin tight are those wee screws that hold the disc on!!! ffs is there really any need for them to be that tight Renooo!

 

[Jim_RT]

Yup they are on tight. Even worse when they are seized like my old ones and you end up having to drill them out.

 

[Big Iain]

tried drilling them out, the conclusion from that was that I need to buy decent drill bits

 

[alexbleubolt]

yeah i had this problem, was told to use titanium ones by Fred, and they ate the metal scre like it was butter, buy some

Yeah there a b*****d for seizing on. Best thing todo is bash them a couple of times with a hammer, this loosens them up no end, the either use a T30/40 on a ratchet/air gun, or a impact screwdriver (Worth buying very cheap never fails). Wire brush them and put loads of copper slip round them and bang them in.

 

[Big Iain]

its a t40 I have wasted two of them now!!

 

[TomTom]

What the screw or the socket? It'll never turn if you just put the socket on them straight away, you'll mash the head up. shock them with the hammer/WD40 them to loosen them up a bit.

 

[Big Iain]

they were shocked!!
