Rear brake disc stuck?
Currently trying to remove the drivers side rear disc from my 06 STi (brembos) but something seems to be holding it on?
I've followed the service manual and tried to use two bolts in the holes but they bent and snapped.. great.
I see that also it states to adjust the 'adjusting screw' but I have no idea where this is? I think it's to do with the hand brake.
The passengers side rear came off fine with using the two bolts. Any input will be highly appreciated!!

If the disk will rotate I would pull it towards you while rotating it and tapping with hammer. worked for me on drum brakes for years. Same principle.

Now I'm trying to do my front brakes. On the passenger side I've got as far as removing the pads, the lower caliper bolt came off fine but the upper bolt is giving me problems. It was tough to get loose and then it got a bit easier and then hard again, I've put a dab of oil on the thread and re tightened it in the hope it penetrates. But it feels like there is more and more resistance when I undo it.. Is this a cross threaded bolt? If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very grateful

Yes , firstly order new bolts for all four corners
If it's gone tight it will 70% snap at the head , keep spraying penetrating oil & tightening back in , then out , then in etc etc .. You may win , but it's doubtfull . As stated they are the b$tard everyone says .. Good luck

Haha thanks Fuzzbom. I've bought some Plus Gas in the hope that will penetrate the bolts and make easy of it. Wish me luck for tomorrow!
