Disc Removal
Disc Removal
My BX failed it's MOT today on worn front discs & a split O/S CV boot, I removed the nearside disc no problem but the offside one is solid, i can't budge it, any tips?

I had the same problem with mine many years ago. Just a question of having enough courage to wallop it with a lump hammer.
BE CAREFUL - in theory the disc could shatter and you should protect yourself from the shrapnel that might be around. This means goggles and possibly some other protection for your body and head.
When the disc is off make sure that the hub face is very clean and flay (no rust) before you fit the new disc - so that it sits flat.
