Removing the Front brake assembly from the hub

[tstrohl]

I have a 1965 Satellite. I am wanting to remove my front brake assembly from the hub, It appears it is held in place by four bolts. I removed all four bolts, but the brake assembly is not budging. Not sure if I'm missing a hidden bolt or the brake assembly is just frozen to the hub.

Any advice is welcome.

I had the same problem - one side came off with a bit of light tapping, the other side was frozen solid and I ended up getting a local garage to use a big puller to separate them. Just old age holding them together.

Try a little heat. Use a block of wood and a medium size .

Liquid blow torch. PB Blaster and let it soak

I agree with Frank Mopar, let them soak. Heat isn't necessary. After soaking, use a soft face dead blow hammer and knock them apart. That's just 50 plus years of grime and gunk holding them together.
