Re: [doc] Frustration NO NO NO



Had this problem with my BX (with 150,000 miles on it at the time). The front disks just would not budge even a millimetre. My mate Joe showed me how to do it.

Get a largeish hammer and gently knock the disc at the edge. Then rotate the wheel 180 degrees and knock the opposite side. Then rotate 90 degrees and knock again, then rotate 180 degrees and repeat. In other words keep knocking the 4 corners of an imaginary cross, knocking hte opposite corner at each hit (where possible). For about the first 20 knocks it may not even appear to be moving.

Hitting it hard just jams it. Be patient and you'll be surprised how easily it'll come off. Might be an idea to soak in WD40 first.

It's kind of like the problem with the steering wheel!
