removing rear discs

Another one of these I'm afraid

removed caliper etc. got the little hole with the grommet in down to the 6 o' clock position, got a large flat head screwdriver (8 x 150 was the largest I had) managed to find the adjuster (I think) but I can't get it to turn in any direction

Any advice?

Edit: Oops, just realised this should be in mkiv technical

Try and hit the Hub/Drum area of the disc, should free a bit of crud off. Mind the wheel studs tho

On the outside face? Then do I re-try the handbrake shoes?

Is your handbrake off?

Yes on the outer face, the adjuster looks like a cog. I cant find a pic for you at the mo sorry

Edit - what Scott said too

Is your handbrake off?

I have to admit, I almost put a post up a while ago when replacing the Rear studs, Only to find the handbrake was on.

I figured it out

The handbrake was off, after a few squirts of WD40 and a little tickle with the persuader, I then "walked" the disc off, using both hands pulling from the top, then spinning it round, pulling a little more it eventually came off.

Now it's all done

Brand new 317mm discs

Brand new CW FR pads

Painted black calipers with Supra decals

And that's it for the rear.....for now

Got my eye on a pair of 2 pot calipers for the rear to pair up with the 4 pots I'm buying

To finish it off I'll be fitting DO-LUCK brake lines and brake cylinder stopper then theat'll be the brakes all sorted

thought i reuse this thread... please help trying to do this before it gets dark.

just wanted to check a couple of things.

the was a pastic gromet thingie in brake disc i tryed to turn it and

just pushed inside the hub. theres no screws to hold disc inplace so should move or have some movement ?

i have used some major force trying to budge disc. there is no movement

. im scared i might damage if i use more force.

the handbrake is off have auto i have selector in N.

is this correct.

any help:scared:

Is there a small threaded hole in the disc, towards the centre. If so, grab a bolt that fits the thread and slowly do it up. This should push the disc off as you do it up.

Yup, Pretty sure there is two. If you find two bolts that fit, It would be better using them both.

Good luck, it's cold out there and getting darker.

2nd answer down...

Try just the bolt 1st, might slide of ok.

Use a small screwdriver that you can poke into the mentioned hole. It will be at 6 o clock and you need to rotate the disc to get to it. In other words you need to have the car freewheeling so make sure you are secure and level.

Once you are at 6 o clock poke the screwdriver in to rotate the little grub. An easy way to tell if you are going the right way is to count the clicks on the handbrake for it to go tight, let it off, then turn one way and see how many clicks you get after doing so. If it is less you are going the wrong way, if it is more you are going the right way. Loosen the thing right off as the pads will have created a groove in the bore of the discs and will catch on the lip as you try to remove them (one new set of brake shoes required).

Bingo bango.

used a bolt on the disc face came off a treat.

just need to check tourqe on all bolts and im done.

to dark to finish tonight.

im a happy bunny now.

thank you,
