These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1Original post

POST 2Original post

Anyone any advice on this I have just ordered new front discs..... and not looking forward to trying this as i have tried once before and mine are siezed solid. HELP..!!!!!!

POST 3Original post

Fraid to say you need access to heat (lots of it) and a large hammer!!

POST 4Original post

Wey Hey...... It's Blow Torch o'clock I assume you apply the heat to the disc not the hub

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Blow torch and a hammer? sounds like my kind of engineering! Any suggestions as to what I should use to make sure the face of the hub is nice and flat afterwards? Cheers Steve

POST 6Original post

A bigger Hammer maybe?????? am i getting the hang of this now

POST 7Original post

Squirt some liquid wrench around the joint and let it sit overnight. using a block of wood and a big hammer whack the fukc out of it. the hub is aluminium so don't wack it directly with the hammer. failing that heat the disc with a torch and whack it some more.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

My brakes needed an overhaul so on sunday I finaly decided to replace the front discs and pads. The calipers came off easily then the disc assembly no probs so far. Then I came to remove the disc from the hub (the bit with the wheel studs). I undid all the relevant bolts and nuts. After that I then spent a good half a day trying to separate the hub from the disc. Would it come apart would it f$$$!! Normaly at times like this I find comfort and help within the pages of the Haynes mnual sadly this time their was no advice provided it simply read: No 4 Remove the bolts and nuts and detach the hub and bearing assembly from the disc. So I decided to reasemble everything and just replace the pads. Any suggestions people? Thanks in advance Steve
