Title: old rotor arm wont come of....to smash or not to smash that is the question
Post by: DAVEMARX on 08 August 2009, 10:11

As title say i cant get my old rotor of and i know the old tired dizzy is causing problems so it has to go

I got a new arm and dizzy but the old dizzy wont fit with the old 1

I got a feeling some div has glued it on coz it wont budge ive tryed puliing it of with a hammer i tied a rope around it and give it a tug but nothing.

So i need to either use an engine lift to pull it of or tie it to my bruvs 4x4 trooper and rip the fooker out but thats just to exstreme

So i wondering if anyone had this problem and what sort of solution they had for it.

Im thinking i need to smash it of by splitting it with a screw driver and hammer but im unsure about what damage i might cause.

I plan on doing it within the next few hours so what do we think.

Some were glued on and the only way to remove it is to smash it, be carefull and you should be fine.

Agreed i recently did mine.Try getting a small flat head in the arm and twist and pick away then give it a good clean up with wd40 works a treat mate.

Yep. The only way to get him off will be to break him.
