XC60 front disc seized on

bradley221985 · Nov 16th, 2019, 18:01

Did the front discs and pads today. The first side all went fine but when I came to the second one I couldn't get the disc off. I sprayed plenty of penetrating fluid and was beating the hell out of it but it was going absolutely no where. It's completely seized on.

If you've sprayed plenty of penetrating fluid round it it might be worth leaving it for a few days to act and then try again.

Smash the F**k out of it with a lump hammer. Hit from the front and back, rotating as you go.

Works for me every time.

Already tried that and no luck

Presumably you've taken the little screw out?

Otherwise you need a bigger hammer. Unless you can find someone with a 3 legged puller to fit which might shift it.

Yeah taken bolt out. Might give this a try https://youtu.be/pMuHKDI00rw

I would try that.... whilst still bashing it with a hammer.

If that doesn't work then blowtorch the centre of the disk and then retry the hammer technique.

And just in case buy a bigger hammer!

I'd take care smashing the disc too much. Lots of delicate parts in the vicinity. The jacking bolt theory is probably the best technique partnered with penetrating fluid overnight.
