Hi all, I have a 10 bolt disc brake salisbury diff as a spare and would appreciate it if somebody could tell me how to remove the brake rotors and axles. The control arms, backing plates and calipers came off OK but seems like I might break something if I persist. Thanks

Ill assume from your name, that the diff is an HZ or WB type Salisbury, not a Commodore one.
I dont see how you removed the backing plates if the rotors & axles are still there, but.
You need to remove the discs from the axles to get to the 4 nuts w |

just be careful cos when i did it the axel come out all of a sudden and hit my head on the side of the house.
