front disks replacement

[iwallace]

hi ppl.
went to change my disks and pads today on my defnder 110,
it was a little more involved then i thought.
stripped it all down to expose the washer on the bearing, but i could not slide the disk off the shaft, pulled the washer and outer bearing out, flopped around but would not slide off.....
is there something i should of undone or should i of been a little more aggressive..
i feel quite gutted.............done 1000s of disks and brakes b4,
just not on a landy.
done searches but i couldnt find anything on the defender.
cheers for your help

You need to undo swivel pins. Top n bottom and ring of bolts at back holding the seal in

Why??? all he wants to do is change front discs?? It should pull straight off the shaft.

If it doesn't it's probably the inner race on the wheel baering seized to the shaft.

Which is why I said what I said

i undone the 2 bolt at the top, that hold the brake line in place, is there 2 underneath that have to be taken off??
and do you mean the ring of bolts inside the disk hub, which i can only get at when the disk is of.
thanks again

Big bar or an hammer on the back of the disc will knock it off the inner race then just needs to crack the seized race with a cold chisel No need to take hub off at all.
