A single word can convey a tremendous amount about a person; Brinelling is that word in your post.

I used a puller as shown in the picture below. The red spots are the two areas where I played the heat from two blowlamps, which certainly helped. I have subsequently realised that I SHOULD have put something like a large socket over the hub, so that the load would be taken by the hub directly, rather than via the wheel bearing.
DO NOT use a hammer on the back of the disc! That WILL overload the wheel bearing(s) and probably cause Brinelling of rollers into races.Post is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream. -
I've used the bolt trick multiple times with great success, always works to remove an otherwise stuck disc.Post is under moderationStream item published successfully. Item will now be visible on your stream.

Thanks for the information on the orbital unit. Although I’m not familiar with what happens within this rather neat & compact cylinder of tricks, your naming of Danfoss as manufacturer kicked memories into action.
Had my thoughts still being bent towards the fitting of a “steering assistant” I would have purchased this item without hesitation.
Had we not been on the cusp of our expensive season I might have bought it & hidden it in the garage to play with at my leisure.
A cylinder cadged from my friend, my hydraulic pump driven from the lathe & some cadged pipe work, would have made for an interesting, if somewhat messy diversion.
And thanks for the Aston pictures, can I now claim to have my pseudonym linked to Aston Martin?
Probably not.
Thank you.

Sorry I forgot to add ,on U TUBE someone suggested to put a bolt through one of the holes that is used to fix the caliper on with a nut on the other side and screw the bot in against the disc Im wondering if it may put too much pressure on the casting Im willing to supply signed copies of my drawing,for a small fee !!!!!

Own a Rover, MG, Series One Elise or K series Caterham? Want to fix it yourself?
You can't fix your car if you don't know what's wrong with it. If your car has a fault light on you can read the error codes to narrow down the fault, but only if you have a compatible diagnostic tool.
