How do you take separate the outer aluminum case for the electrical piece? I removed the 3 front screws are the more one the back side. They may be fused together.

Is the wheel cover chromed or stainless steel?

They are corroded together. It's only the three screws holding it together. And if you mean the rotor as the "end piece". Once the bolt is out you'll have to make a special puller bolt as discussed in another thread or buy one from JESSBIKES. It's cheap and nice to have for next time.

I'm pretty sure it's stainless steel.

Throw that whole thing in the media blast cabinet and hit it !!!
At least it'll be cleaned to work with from that point.

No, you should be able to wiggle the little one off the big one without too much trouble.

I think you need a key and turn it backwards a little bit, then pull it out. What key number is it?
