You gotta laugh - I tried heat, hitting, heat and hitting, a puller complete with heat and hitting etc etc, liberal doses of plus gas, you name it !!!

Eventually out came the angle grinder and this happened -


Still, looks much nicer and shiny shiny now, thanks to a pair of stainless backplates and CV joint protectors from Brickwerks...


And now complete with a newly minted MOT certificate - just too late for all the fun and games in Wales at the weekend

In 40 odd years of fecking about with cars, I've never seen that.

Obviously not had the missfortune of working on a Mondeo then.
Syncro do it fairly regularly also, Larry* normally sorts if for me though.

*Larry is my 4lb lump hammer with a foot long shaft, lucky boy.

I have one of those too. Her name is Bertha and commands respect .....

Yep mine is called Madam Tutsie, strange how we have a name for our big hammers.

I did try the big hammer route - mine is called "f*ing big hammer"

It worked for one side with a bit (well a lot) of heat and a 3-leg puller but nothing was moving the other side - it was still stuck on even when I cut the front off the disk. It was the ring of rust around the edge that did it, not on the face. I actually broke chunks off the disk lip with the puller twice before i resorted to the angle grinder...
