    HI, I`m trying to change the front discs on my 406 est. I have got the
    pads out ok but I`m stuffed if I can remove the discs. I`ve got the
    caliper and it`s carrier off and the two grub screws that were holding
    the disc onto the hub. Do I now have to remove the hub nut? if so what
    is its size cos I haven`t got anything that big ( ask the wife, she
    will vouch for that !!)
    Thanks in anticipation

    Sorry to hear about your size problem! However you do not take the hub
    nut off. If the caliper is off and the two locating screws are out,
    hit the backside of the disc HARD with a GOOD hammer. Keep hitting
    until the disc flies off. NOTE the word flies. Make sure nothing is in
    the way when the disc comes off.
    If they are that rusted on, then you MUST clean the hub contact area
    to the disc very well, and put a smear of Copaslip around the flange
    adjacent to the hub nut.

    Thank you Nigel,
    I`m now back at work for a few days so the job is now "on hold" but in
    the mean time I`m gonna get me a big hammer ...
