Trying to change my front brake discs on my 1.9D, got the calipers and locking screws off no problem but the discs are seized, unbelieveably.
I've tried WD-40, Freeze Spray and heating the disc but they won't even budge. I'm pretty sure the problem is between the mating faces of the hub and the internal circumference of the discs.
I've battered them severely with a hammer and they haven't moved.
Any other ideas/solutions that I'm missing?
Thanks.
Al

Grinder, cut a slot in to the disc & a nice big wack with your chisel will soon break the disc free
