Hello all, Let me introduce myself. My name is Peter Schoppelry and I have been on the big Triumph list for a couple of years now. I usually spend more time in the back ground than talking. I have been working on a frame off rebuild on a TR4 for a few years now. I drove a GT6 for a couple of years as my only car about thirty years back. Not having a Triumph to drive now, I went out and bought a Spitfire a couple of weeks ago. It is a 1979 1500 with overdrive and a hard top. The car has been off the road since 1985. The previous owner has done a little work on the car before selling it to me. It still needs a little work to make it road worthy but not much. Seeing that the Spitfires have their own list, I have signed up.
I will start off by asking for help on removing my rotors from the hubs on the car. I am replacing the rotors with new. They should come in the mail today. I took the old ones off the car but cannot separate the rotor from the hub. I removed the 4 bolts that hold the pieces together. I then soaked it with PBblaster. I used a hammer on the hub and saw it was starting to bend. I soaked it more and tried using a BFH on the rotor surface itself (will be replaced). I can only give it one whack and I knock it out of my hand. They will not separate. How do I get these apart? Do I need to use a press to separate the two?
