CHANGING FRONT DISCS
Discussion
I will be putting some new discs and pads on the front of my Monaro VXR 2005 6 l.
As any one removed old discs from VXR are they just to be hammered off breaking the rust seal that will have formed on the shaft.
Reason for asking is there is no sign of retaining screws, as seen on some discs on other cars.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ade,
I cleaned signs of corrosion and dirt from the mating surfaces of the hub and disc before I fitted my new discs, to make sure they ran true as possible. I was also advised to use a DTI to check the run out of the new discs in each position on the hub, then chose the position with the least run out. I was told that no more than 0.004 thou run out was required to prevent any steering vibration.
