thread the three bolts back it a little ways and tap em with a hammer you may have to hit em pretty hard so leave the socket on them so u dont damage the bolt and cant get a socket on to take the bolts in and out but tap one a litle then another and so one til it pops out

okay sounds reasonable i will try that in the mornin. i have never had this happen before i have spent hours trying to get it off

yea thats how i tryed for hours a few months ago and got super frustrated and got on here and was told the same advise i gave u it took less than five minutes but like a dumby i didnt leave a socket on the bolt and nearly damaged the bolt beyond being able to get he socket on to tighten it back up so be sure to leave a socket on there

okay so i got it off and replaced but the tap the screw method didn't work, i had to take a angle grinder and a chisel with a BF and wrecked the old assembly [ oh well ] now my bakes and ABS work.

BFH (Big %$#@^&$##@ Hammer), turn the wheel so you have access and smack it til it comes out.
