    D2 front disk removal...what am I doing wrong???

    OK, I have identified front right wheel sensor kaput. OK, i have a few hr, figure i will remove it, clean it, and see if that fixes problem.

    I have caliper off, I have main retaining nut off, I have the screw holding hub out....but the disk will NOT come off!. Ive tried a make shift puller, Ive tried a slide hammer, Ive tried "gentle persuasion" with a rubber mallet....what am I doing wrong?

    Im stuck at work until i fix it, all suggestions wlecome.

    Once the caliper is off and the little phillips head screw is out then the rotor should tap off the hub. Its a really tight fit and is probably just stuck on, so you may need to give it a bit of a whack. I just belt it left/right then top/bottom and it eventually works its way off.

    PLUSGAS and LOTS of it.............and a "working" as stated with a hammer and block of wood, as you rotate it, dont hit the disc directly with a metal hammer as they can shatter.

    That's the first time that I have herd the term "PLUSGAS" in years. In the UK we used to use it all the time. The Australian version in good old WD40...

    Yep,thats the way, at first you think nothing is happening and you feel like giving it a REAL belt-dont- keep at it, it will eventually make the tiniest of movement and your away.

    What main retaining nut?

    If the disc system is the same as the P38A (and I think it is), it's a doddle to remove in comparison to the RRC/D1/Defender.

    Is it like this? Brake Job Range Rover 4.0/4.6

    From D2 Workshop Manual:

    1.
    Raise front of vehicle.

    WARNING: Do not work on or under a
    vehicle supported only by a jack. Always
    support the vehicle on safety stands.
    2.
    Remove road wheel(s).

    3.
    Remove 2 bolts securing brake caliper to
    swivel hub.

    4.
    Release caliper and tie aside clear of brake
    disc.

    CAUTION: Do not allow caliper to hang on
    brake hose.
    5.
    Remove screw securing disc to drive flange.

    6. Remove brake disc from drive flange
