mkoch Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) (edited to say, problem solved) Greetings all, Here is a photo of my replace-the-rotors project. The photo is of the passenger side front axle, and split center piece. My problem is, the split center piece just won't come out. I've tried the hammer/cold chisel around the perimeter method. It is still stuck. Does the split center piece have to come out before I use the drum puller? I don't want to use the drum puller (disc puller in this case) if that will only force the cone tighter.

mkoch Posted December 15, 2009 Author Share Posted December 15, 2009 After I posted, I added difluoroethane (Blow Off brand, canned propellant) to the cold-chisel attack. That Blow Off stuff is cold!. It took about a minute to chill the split cone, then it came off. No puller needed! Sorry for the needless question.

wagonist Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 I'm just about to tackle removing the original drums off my 88, so at least I know what to use now if they don't come off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robm Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 A little grease or antiseize on that cone will help stop it from getting stuck in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
