help!!! please:)

[Mintard]

I got my new wheels, but I can't get the break disks off my old 1s, I've tried everything I can think of to get them off... but can't.

Does anyone know how I can get them off?? Or just get new 1s...

Cheers.

if they are decent bolts and you have some gooooood tools then just pure muscle twist and twist and twist just watch out for skining your knuckle but yeh if that doesnt work yeh my next opiton would be some WD-40 squirt alot of that around the bolts and let it drain in.. yeh the HEAT

You can drill the bolts/screws out and just buy some new bolts. This might be your best option if you have chewed the heads on the bolts out.

Have you measured the size of the bolt spacings to see if the old discs fit the new wheels? If they are different you could be wasting your time.

tried WD40, got gooooooood tools and muscle didn't work (and I'm NOT weak) and yes they are the right size...

1/2 drive breaker bar, cheaterbar, single hex socket and a couple of mates to hold the wheel while ya swing off the bar

Impact wrench might do the trick.

damn good idea...why didnt i think of that after using it for the same job about a week ago

 

[Mintard]

ok, you guys are confusing...

what's holding the disk on is a phillips head screw...

 

[Custom]

use the impact driver with a philips head bit

 

[Mintard]

[Mintard]

depending on what size you could use a small easy out, they are like a bolt with large left hand threads on them and a square end for easy leverage, ass u do is drill a hole slightly smaller that the easy out bit and put it in they are tapered so they should go in and yeh just start turning the end with a shifter and it comes out works everytime, although if u don't have them u will need to go to a hardware store anyway so may as well just get a impact driver
