What did you do to your car today?

SPent 6 hours today trying to change the fooking disks. The only thing I was worried about when starting was pulling the threads on the brembos. After that turned out alright, the disks turned out to be welded to the hubs with rust. Back up in the morning now to try and finish them off :angry1: :angry1: :icon_hang: :icon_hang:

A few good clatters of a hammer in between the threads should break the rust, be careful not to hit threads though! :thumbsup:

Unfortunately not, seems to be well and truly on there. The only thing I'm doing now tomorrow is to put the bolts through the disks and see if they pop off. Say a prayer for me :pray: :pray:

That's the best way to get them off
 
Amazing what a bit of knowledge can do, if I had brains I'd be dangerous.

Job finally done after about 7 hours :subaru:
