Dear Forum,
While under the car, I noticed the front discs are past it, and I need to change them. In the past, I have had great difficulty getting rusted discs off - especially Fords! Does anyone have a good technique for doing this, preferably without potential wheel bearing damaging violence :-)
Thanks

Easy, hacksaw down the disc from the edge to the hub, once a reasonable distance in cold chisel in saw cut and hit. Never failed me......

Jim,
Sounds good - I'll give it a go.
Thnaks,

If the problem is due to the little screws rusting in place, try heating the screws with a small blowlamp for a minute to break the rust bond.

I wouldnt recommend either above. Never had a prob with escort discs. few taps with hammer they usualy move without any hassle. Only motor I had to use force on was a 1990 granny. Which I mentioned here before. Just because they are past it wont make em hard to remove

I've never had a problem with Escort discs either but put a smear of copper grease on all mating faces when you re-assemble.

Finally got round to doing this job this morning. Thankfully, the old discs came off with little trouble - just a few taps with the hammer.
Excellent!
