brake disc removal/caliper piston stuck

[grinder]

err nope !!

im sure they are screwed in - so you might need a stud extractor - or you can sometimes use 2 nuts - lock them tight against each other and then loosen the one nearest the hub

this should lock up even tighter against the 2nd nut and draw the stud out

failing that - bit nut on the end and weld it on

hmm cheers for the info, never easy dammit. why can\'t i get a problem like having a dirty air filter or something for once.. haha
ah well by the time i\'ve done all the stuff to the car it should be tip top

again - welcome to the world of FC\'s - nothing is simple - at all

[mosguido]

just to ask yet another question...brakes are still squeaking when pressed (most of the time), i\'m pretty sure its just cos theres no shims fitted yet (should be arriving in the next few days) and wanted to double check its probably cos they arent fitted (yet).....i think so as the brakes stop nice and solidly, they just like to squeak

also..is there a step by step anywhere for removing and refitting the wheel stud just so i dont mess it up when i do it! cheers

Hi Ya

I agree about sticking rear Calipers, took the dealer 4 hours to free one of mine then it stuck again 600 miles later and now failed MOT, replacement Caliper £110 +VAT & Fitting!!
