A while back when I raided the local wreckers for Civic dics I got everything but one of the discs wouldn't budge and I ran out of time as they were closing - I happened to be passing before Christmas and went in and sized up what I thought I'd need to get it off.

Today I went back with the BFH and the impact driver and not a bloody Civic in sight - All gone - zilch - not one Gone to the crusher says the man in charge :cry:

maybe a stupid quesiton
but why not just get new disks?
if you pull them off with a BFH then you are likely to mark the rotors and render them fairly useless
if you are gonna bash them off atleast use some care and use a rubber mallet
sorry just a question that always confuses me

I did think that it would be better to get new ones undrilled and have the studs drilled to the right spacing :roll:

SG It was the ABC Wreckers at Oxley - there is a Pulsar with a D85 dizzy in it - I removed it from the block but when I pulled the coil lead off the cap was broken. Decided I didn't really need it so left it with LT leads attached behind the grill

He said a BFH AND an Impact Driver, which will get them off no problems, if they were there. you don't actually bash the disk off...

I agree, just go buy a pair new..
