How do they come off. Do they just pull off. Or bolted with hub nut and bearing. And it all dismantled at the moment thank you grant

is the hub completely off Grant?

when i took my discs off they were rusted solid to the hub i used a hammer to to the back of the disc whilst bolted on the car to remove mine.

if you are keeping the discs i suggest a rubber mallett to do the job.

they shouldn't be bolted on

Na not removed the hub just the caliper and carrier. Brought new discs. But wasn't sure if there bolted on or got to be wacked off. I didn't want to get to brutal with them. Am I just being a girl and need to hit them harder. They ain't a hub and bearing unit all in one then thank you for the prompt reply

no worries make sure you rotate the disc with even knocks as if you hit at an angle you can wedge the dics solid on the hub bearing in the centre.

if you can mate just spray some WD40 around the disc to soften up the rust.

i have to admit it i had to get a little brutal with mine too.
