Disc Brakes...

96Snaker · August 5th, 2007, 02:31 AM

Any of you have a good way of busting a frozen disc from the hub? The damn thing won't come off - I have nearly resorted to beating it with a mallet to try to unseize the little sh*t.

ps - I have never had soooo many different causes for concern when repairing/upgrading braking systems until I tried to on my cobra the past day or two, damn it. But, dual piston calipers + 13" discs FTW, I'll say that much.

So yeah, any help = appreciated.

(I am also wondering why we don't have a designated Brake section in our Tech forums...??...so I just post in the clubhouse or FAQ till then I suppose)

If you have torches heat the center of the rotor up - carefully, and hit the rotor with a hammer.

A puller may also work if you have one.

haha sounds like fun.

I just doused the center of it (both sides) with some penetrating catalyst and see if she'll budge loose in the morning. I would have never thought of using a torch though, you must be very wise in your old age ...

j/k

Well hell, if I can't finish my brake job tonight, at least I have MM and it's bountiful pictures of women abound, thanks to Zip, of course. - It does act as quite the stress reliever, lol.

TheUNZippee! · August 5th, 2007, 02:54 AM

haha I love it - people are gonna see "disc brakes" as the title to this thread and be happily suprised, I would imagine.

of course my brake situation is not improving, but my mental attitude has certainly changed :wink
