You can also use a 2-spoke bearing puller
it worked for me
Good luck
you tap the disc with a mallet, roughly going around it to loosen it (conical assembly), it will come off by itself.
Good morning ;
if you have removed the 2 T30 screws on the disc (I think so) it is because the disc is welded by rust (disc / hub).
What kind of penetrating oil did you use (WD40 or 3/1 is not enough)? You need penetrating oil like Berner, let it work and tap hard, with a mallet mine came off (you have to remove the caliper before tapping).
Happy New Year 2018 and good health.
Sincerely
Hello. It's happening a bit like I thought, having already done it on other cars. That said, I'm having a problem here: the disc on my C5 remains welded. No matter how much I put on it, it won't budge. I let the whole thing rest with penetrating oil overnight: the part continues to stick. However, I need to change the disc and the bearing... What should I do?
