Removing Eddie Dow Brake Plate
« on: May 11, 2016, 01:12:01 PM »
Aaagh.  Can someone please help me, I am feeling pretty stupid at the moment.
I have an Eddie Dow Duetto front brake fitted to my Gold Star.  I want to check the brake pad condition so have removed the front wheel.  But I cannot for the life of me see how to remove the brake plate from the hub.
I would have expected a central nut holding it on, but there is not one there. 
Is it a press fit?  I have given it a bit of gentle persuasion but no sign of any movement and do not want to force anything.

Does anyone have any experience of these?

Thanks in advance for any support.

P.S. Will take a photo and add to post.

Solution found...  I little more gentle persuasion needed...
Does anyone know where I can get some of the 2 inch wide brake shoes it uses?  Or will it be a case of getting them re-lined?
