w202 rear brake disc/drum

[GregZ]

Hi All,

I have a problem: I cannot remove the rear disc on my 2000 W202 touring. I obviously have removed the retaining bolt and I have loosened the brake shoe threaded stick inside the hub. It seems that the disc is rusted onto the hub in or around the middle. Any ideas? Someone recommended torching. What torch should I use? Where should I torch it? If torched, does the wheel bearing grease need to be replaced?

Thanks,

Greg
