Help to get front brake discs off, ford mondeo?
Answers:
This is not to suggest that you're stupid by any means. Did you remove the springs and hardware before attempting to remove discs. If so, then use a rubber mallet and a hub puller. Make sure to hit the puller with the mallet as hitting other things could cause further repairs beyond replacing discs.
soak them liberally with WD-40 or CRC.if after tapping them with a rubber hammer, they still won't come off, you'll need to heat them with a torch..but assuming you're replacing them anyway, you really can't do anymore harm.don't be afraid to SMACK IT! Also, did you make sure to collapse the piston in the caliper before trying to remove it?
YES YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE COMPLETE HUB OFF THE CAR AND PRESS IT OFF , IF THE DRIVE SHAFT IS SEIZED IN THE HUB UNDO THE SHAFT AT THE GEARBOX SIDE AND USE A PRESS TO UNDO SHAFT FROM HUB.
just go to a ford authorised service dealer.Hey you know what i`am only 10 years old.If you want to know about me, E-mail me at: azlan_evo96@yahoo.com
undo hub, remove calliper, drive shaft at C.V joint, drop the whole assemble in a bucket soak the bugger in diesel for a couple of hours, the press the disc off, the heat of the brakes working over its life time has seized it onto the hub!
2 ways you can do this, either use grider and put a split in the disc where it mounts on the hub or put your wheel nuts on and beat the crap out of the face of the disc where it goes on the hub, the wheel nuts stop the studs getting damaged if you miss.
they will come off this way do not be afraid to hit them hard with a large hammer but please do wear goggles
hit it with a big ammer
hammer the back of the disk top then bottom left then right,keep repeating,it will come off,i would,nt start stripping the hub n everythin else your just gonna make things harder,prob damage somethin or lose it.
Use a press that means that you will have to take the hub off
