ben9195 · 2015-08-28 06:53:38

I went about fitting new discs and pads on my wife's 07 Clio. No problem with the fronts or offside rear but i cannot get the disc off the near side rear Seems To be seized solid. Tried a lot of hammering but no joy. Any help would be appreciated as nct due in 2 weeks.

If you have a decent sized bolt, two washers and a nut:

Have used it in the past to good effect.

I eventually borrowed a heavy duty pullers and and after two good smacks with a lump hammer on the disc with the pullers as tight as I could get it--Off it popped. Happy now.
