Front brake discs stuck fast....

#1 by RooMac , Sun May 19, 2019 6:58 am

I'm sure it's a well known issue....

Replacing discs and pads but struggling to get the discs off...

Tried hitting with hammer, hitting with bigger hammer, hitting with big mo fo hammer....

Even tried a bit of heat...

But still no movement >.<

Any other tips for me?

Much appreciated 🙂👍
