How do you remove the bolt that holds on your front brake disc

[rossy t]

nice pic hasnic.

in my yout when i was changing brake discs for the first time i was left head scratching when having undone the 2 small bolts the disc stayed put. transpired that the heat and pressure had made the disc grip to the hub. a swift tap from behind :smt047 removed the disc. i can see why people without instructions would be left head scratching.

are you using the discs again?

if not just smash the back of the disc with a hammer and then a set of mole grips to take the rest out

Did you read Hasnics post?

Undo the screws circled in black, the central nut is to be left alone.

Thanks for the picture mate.

I just replaced the whole lot on my car (pads discs and lines) and it was because of those damn bolts that it took all day! I used a tit load of WD40 (avoid getting it on the replacement components!) An impact driver (£15 from Halfrauds) and a lot of swearing! :lol:
Those bolts are horrific! I beat the sheite out of them to get them to move! Since then I have been told that heating them with a blowtorch would have solved the problem..... Personally I have my doubts, but it cant hurt!
