Hi folks, need a bit of a favour. Just got a bit brake kit for the wedge, but the discs haven't been taken off the hub for about 15 years, and try as I might, cannot split them. So does anyone have a set of spare front hubs I could buy, or preferably a big hammer/press that could split them both apart?

Many thanks!

Take it you have taken the outer wheel bearing nut off and removed the 5 bolts holding the wheel stud plate on??

Then crack them off with a nylon faced hammer. If it will not budge then loads of WD a bit of heat from a torch or blow lamp will help.
