Whack the crap out of it.


I used a heavie hammer & a piece of wood to soften the blow on metal to metal


whack it, but be sensible about it

Get a 10mm bolt and screw it into the little hole on the brake disc between the wheel studs. Keep tightening it and you'll hear a 'crack' and the disc will come off. :)

Yes - no need to pull the hub bolt - use the 10mm bolt method - the threaded hole in the disc is designed for it.

I'm really glad to see everything went well! I take it you are installing the bigger stuff (i think it was you who bought Matty's stuff?).

I just have one question though... :oops: What does FTW stand for? I'm usually pretty good with these, but I can't figure this one...
