Hi all,
I am servicing a Spezio Tuholer at the moment, with a view to it being given it's Permit to Fly (Ireland). It's brakes have seized from being idle, so I pulled off a wheel to have a look. The brake disk is a kind I've never seen before; it's a slotted disk, which appears to sit in slots in the inner wheel and is kept in place by three small metal clips. I was able to push back the brake pad easily enough and free up the disk, which is of the free floating type, ie, it came out of the slots of the wheel and now it's very difficult to get the disk back in place, to get the wheel back on the axle. Does anyone have any tips or suggestions as to how to do this?

regards
TDD
