Title: Brake issue
Post by: michaelb on September 13, 2018, 19:15
What's going on here? Looks like the thing behind the disc is way off centre(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180913/203e0fe2b2a5d168433f775f381a6dae.jpg)

Those back plates are known for rusting through.
Happy to be corrected, but, think they are a bit more involved.
Think its a hub off job. Think most dont bother.

Problem is they are flying around at the moment making a whirring sound constantly and banging when you hit a bump. I'm going to have to take the hub off to get it off anyway.

Couldn't you just dremmel - snip - saw off whats there.
If rusted that bad it has moved on its own. May just need removing.

Yeah I suppose I might be able to just break it off, it's getting a 2zz fitted tomorrow, I might just say to the guy doing it to break it off.
