I've never failed to get the nut off OK. Mole grips on the disc and a
2ft bar on the socket set.

On account of the woodruff key they don't tighten up that much.


But the disk has usually stuck to the point where I decoded to attach
blades in situ...

The key is the key IYSWIM, rusted in place.

Dear Phil',
So a mole grip on the edge of the disc and then manually hold the mole grip?
The nut is supposed to be tightened to 40ft lb so might need 80ft lb to get
it off?? Not sure I could hold a mole grip against 80 ft lb?

Even then, you have found that the disc is usually rusted on. I am now
wondering about taking it to the local dealer and getting them to remove the
nut and disc???

Go on then, I know you are dying to be asked; what does 'the key is the key'
and IYSWIM mean?

cheers, Davy
