Made up tool today to separate disc from hub using an old front disc from my Cortina it should do the job just fine

People have said you can damage the wheel using it like in the video above so made this just thinking the bolts will be to long

Well got the rear discs done today, quite easy job really just time consuming first side took me around 4hrs to do the other side took about hour and a half hardest part was getting one of the pads in it just didn't want to go in.... my drilled out disc worked well and popped the old disc off in seconds no trouble.

Next on to the front ones

Did the fronts today, wishbones too while it was all stripped down

Still to do the video for the front will post once it's up on YouTube but found the front to be far more involved and a lot more work

Thanks to all here who helped with any questions I asked about this job.
