They can be a bit of a mare to get off, What you need to do is spray them from behind with WD40 or something like it, And let it soke in for an hour or two and then beat them with a leather/rubber mallet again ;-) .....

And remember once you have them off, If you refit them or are fitting new disc's put loads of copper slip on the back of the disc where it mounts to the hub, That way they will come off a lot easier next time ;-) ....

If the WD40 doesn't work try some heat from a blow touch ;-)

If you're changing them, ie not putting those discs back on, then just bray feck out of them with a hammer, keep changing the side you're hitting. ( I had the same problem on an old car, the discs seemed to be corrosion welded in place.)

You should have 2 bolt holes where they meet the hub,put 2x13mm bolts in and tighten them alternatley,you will find they will come off really easily.

Thats probably because most of the disc's I've seen the bolt holes are all rusted up and the threads are f*cked :oops: , Or have after market disc's that don't have the bolt holes anyway ;-) ......

But I do agree the best way it to do the bolts up tight ish and then give it a little tap with a hammer :thumbsup: .....
