When I dropped my BA cradle the other week, the rears were the same. I think what you are experiencing is pretty normal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you just use the puller you WILL break something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the rotor is lose on the hub I WOULDN'T use a puller as you are forcing the' over adjusted" brake shoe over a lip that has worn inside the disc (similar to the lip on the outer edge of the rotor in your picture) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note the position so you can put the new rotor on the same. As soon as the rotor is off, you will see the adjuster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adjust brake shoes to 189mm at the widest point. Then rotate new discs as you install them.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
