min200 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 OK then all of you knowledgeable folks if I could pick your brains for a moment...Whats the best way to remove you front brake discs for replacement? Mine seem to have seized solid to the wheel and I cannot even get the alan key bolts out that hold the disc to the wheel!Any ideas are much appreciated!

stumblebum Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I use an old spindle placed on the bolt and then give it a good wack to shock the bolt and unsieze it, works for me every time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended up doing just that and all of them came out bar one which I had to drill out in the end.I am sure the last person to put those discs on used a tube of locktite on each and every thread!

Good to here your sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Yeah....you can probably get some stainless disk bolts.......and when you fit the new disks apply a very small amount of non-hardening loctite....the blue stuff.....can be got in a stick, a bit like a Pritt stick......
