Wheel Hub Grrr

[Shaun O]

I thought I would try be pro and adjust the handbrake balance on my skyline

Oops.. I hit the wrong thing through the hole in the hub and a screw-type thing with a flathead head fell out into the hub which had a spring and a washer on it and I couldnt get them back to where they should be.. it looks like it might be a handbrake shoe holder or something.. either way it's just floating around in the wheel hub now..

I tried to get the rotor off so I could put it back in properly but the caliper bolt is on ridiculously solid (17mm) and could not for the life of me get it off.. any tips? there's a workshop 5 secs down the road, would it be worth going there to gimme a hand?

cheers.

god damn i think i was tightening the caliper bolt

All done

Took ages to get the rotor off, due to the loose handbrake shoe.

Interesting discussion with yourself, hey?

AT least it's sorted...

Aha yeah just thought I'd let you guys know how I got on

hmm well for next time there are 2 threaded sections on the disc - if you screw a bolt into them they push the disc off the hub
