Be careful you don't miss and hit the shocker, wheels studs etc, and batter the shit out of it.

Before you put the new discs on, clean the hub up with some emery cloth and use a very thin coating of copper grease on the mounting surface.

When doing mine a while back,i got a sharp small chisel and chiseled all the rusty layers off the back on the inside of the disc.

a layer builds up at the back and it cannot slide off the hub.
