Siders77 Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Get 2 pieces of wood. Put the rotor between the blocks of wood then put it in a vice and tighten the vice. :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 Get 2 pieces of wood. Put the rotor between the blocks of wood then put it in a vice and tighten the vice. :P are u sure that works? surely the rotor would just spring back to how it was. i would do it with a wide anjustable spanner which has been degreased/cleaned to avoid contamination. ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Siders77 Posted October 28, 2005 Report Share Posted October 28, 2005 are u sure that works? If it was left in there for a few hours/overnight then I don't see why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to deform the rotor plastically - by forcing it past its elastic limit. Time won't do this. And clamping it flat won't produce enough force. Dont use your hands - it will put oil on the rotor. Get a clean adjustable spanner and do it like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
