Got my rear calipers free finally by releasing the rear shock struck and dropping down the swing arm. This gave me more room and allowed me to get more leverage.
Solved that problem Next the rear disc, got one screw out , the other I had to drill off the head, now I am looking for a puller. I can't seem to budge it with traditional methods.

There should be two threaded holes in the disc which can be used for popping the disc off the hub using two 8mm bolts. You can use a torch to heat the hat portion of the disc and expand it so it comes off the hub more easily. |

I will try again tonight. |

I read the manual about using the 8m bolts and it didn't make sense to me.. I thought the threads were in the hub, not the disc. |
