Help!!! Removing Discs!!

[S22 JGS]

does anyone know how to get the discs off a 172?
i undone the star screw, but it wont budge... do i have to un do that bolt in the middle?

 

[Bradharding]

Yes.

 

[Mike@Rentech]

they are stuck on, hit the back edge of the disc with a hammer they will come off then.

 

[Kris 172]

they should come off but may need help.where the bracket is that holds on the brake caliper is, located slightly behind the disc screw the bolts back through it and . In a way round about kind of way screw they disc off by forcing it away from the hub.

Hitting it with a hammer probably wont work either.

I changed my brakes a week ago mate took me a while to figure it out they just almost rust on.

Hope that made sense .:dapprove:

Yes that's true but you have to undo the hub nut first!

 

[Bradharding]

If you have a copper hammer try using that to hit the disc, rotating it to hit it in different places and it should slowly ease it's way off.

 

[Kris 172]

Hitting it didn't work for me , but may work for you .

Follow Mikes guidance though he's the don. Hope the business is going well Mike.

Heard really good things about you on here , keep up the good work mate

Hub Nut ???????? Only on the rear brakes fella , never un done the hub nut on mine the disc bell or centre fits over the hub and the disc is fixed in place with the screws and wheel bolts

 

[Mike@Rentech]

You certainly dont have to undo the hub nut.
The discs are just stuck on, hit the old discs like a man not a mouse

 

[Kris 172]

lol

 

[Bradharding]

Sorry, didn't realise he meant front . Bloody valver owwners hey

 

[Fred@BTM]

no need to touch the front hub nut on any clio to get the disc off

get a big f**king hammer and beat this s**t out of it, it WILL come off

 

[BenR]

dont touch it up..........hit it!

 

[Fred@BTM]

^classic line^

 

[christurbo]

Make sure you HIT it, turn it a quarter, HIT it, turn it a quarter, etc. This method wont fcuk up your hubs.

 

[BenR]

christ people, its just stuck on with a bit of rust..........a simple kick will get it off.

 

[Addz]

twatted mine with a hammer and made loads of dints, then realised i had the wrong disks to go back on :quiet: the company that made my grooved disks sent 238mm instead of 258mm the tits

 

[S22 JGS]

ok- so it doesnt need removing for the front discs.... so why is it there

 

[BenR]

the hub nut?

To hold the hub, bearing/drive shaft together.

[Fred@BTM]

[BenR]
