Hi folks
I searched before posting but couldn't find what I really needed. This is about my partners 2006 K12 Sport with 140k miles on the clock! We've had a loud humming at speed and I thought the rear brakes might be the problem, so tried to investigate (No wheel play or grinding so discounted bearing.)
In short, i am trying to replace the rear shoes and the hub will not budge. Guessing that the shoes are adjusted out into a worn hub face. (Automatic adjuster actually working, surely not!)
Is there access from outside to wind the adjuster in?
The long version...
Wheel off, cap off, 30mm nut off, hub spins fine no noises but stuck firm when trying to remove. Then used a rubber mallet all round edge to try and free it up, no better. Tried to lever it off with a large flat bladed screwdriver, still not budging at all.
Last resort, removed circlip and tried to get whole thing off, still no good. Then had idea of bolting wheel back on to give me some purchase to pull - well you know how that went as I am now out of ideas and asking for help!
I hate it when someone's first post is a help me post! But I did use search and it's not what oil/filter/tyre or how many psi...
TIA
