My neighbour is trying to change the discs on his mundano, but cannot remove the second one.



Yesterday, with the aid of a bottle jack we got the first off.



Any tips for removing a very stuck one?

What do you call a busload of xxx* going over a cliff with one empty seat? A waste.

After fighting the oversteer several times and resigning myself to either being *very* lucky and staying on the road or hitting something I just let it go. It wasn't until it started to roll that I thought "Oh s*it, this is going to hurt". Pleasantly surprised when it all stopped to find myself not in agony, trapped or both.

(*) Lap belt as low down across your hips as possible and under thick clothing. Diagonal belt across the center of your shoulder and all slack removed.
