Hit it harder
This a big enough hammer mate
:rasp:
I'd love to expand on that but that is about the size of it lol.
If they got that hot to bubble the paint on the wheel, they have probably friction welded to the stub axles.. You could get them off by breaking the disc and bearing up until your left with the inner races of the bearing then split them off.. But the stub axle will probably be damaged anyway.. I'd look at getting a couple of replacements if that is the case.
May be worth trying a slide hammer on lt though you might be lucky and it's only seized
Yeah I thought that myself but from what I can see I can't get the stub axle's off without removing the disc
I am a total mechanical noob lol, what is a slide hammer lol
I had to angle grind some off in the past , bit drastic but done the job
I don't have an angle grinder
Calipers sticking to cause that much heat?
No surprisingly not, the car was setup mega soft so I think it had been putting a lot of load onto the bearings! They are mega knackered
Just to add to that.. You only have to cut down one side of the disc preferably in line with the wheel bolt holes.. Then wedge a chisel in the cut and it will split in two
Haha thanks for your help mate but I don't fancy trying to cut it
Going to try a pry bar tomorrow against the back of the hub and see if that will help as the more I hammer the disc it's just making the bearing worse
Can you get a flwheel puller or hub puller on it? Or fashion a puller up similar with a few bolts and metal plate?
I might try making something tomorrow thanks for the suggestion
