HELP!!! Can't get the dust covers off my 930 front brakes!!!
I have tried screwing a bolt into the threaded portion and pulling on it w/ a slide hammer, neither side will budge at all. I don't see anything else holding on the dust covers. Next to try is heat w/ my propane torch... Anyone with experience on these 930 brakes? Thanks in advance, Craig

One method is to use a large pair of channel lock plyers, grab it with the channel locks and hit the channel locks with a hammer at different locations around the surface. cover the wheel studs with nuts so they don't get damaged.

the 930 has a recessed dust cap so the normal methods wont' work. Try a few drops of brake fluid, or pb blaster. Maybe a larger slide hammer.

BFSH. that's the slider hammer equivolent of a BFH. go harder. i've had the welded on nut come off and had to reweld it more than once. they're on tight sometimes.
