since ive used up all my little tricks to remove the front brake discs from the hub, im thinking about taking them to a shop to have them pressed off the hub... anyone ever have to resort to this? is there any risks?





on a 2nd note, i found out why my eyes water and i choke when i start my car and let it run.... turns out that my exhaust is busted off at the cat... wonderful!

 

couple choices....



1. there should be an extra threaded hole in the rotor, just put a bolt in there and tighten it until the rotor pops off, it might help to tap it with a rubber hammer.



2. get the big hammer out and hit the rotor til it breaks off

 

1. there is no hole... must be aftermarked discs im dealing with or something..



2. what do you think ive been doing, my 5 lbs sledge doesnt seem to be doing anything but denting the living crap out of the disc...

 

wow, lol. put a little bit of grease on the hub before you put it back together...

 

lol... i know that already... thats what i did when i first installed the 5-lug hubs... but at that time, i thought it would be a breeze removing the disc....



guess i learned my lesson...
