If you can't pop the disc off by tapping with a hammer, the small (M8 IIRC) threaded hole on the disc can break a rust seal. A quick scrub with a wire brush should reveal the threads.
Shoes and wheel cylinders on the PX2 are super easy. I just did mine. Word of caution, if you do yours, make sure you properly inspect your new wheel cylinders before putting them on. I got a Pagid set because that was all I could get ahold of here in Blighty. I found the bleeder screw was not seating correctly in one of them and it was leaking fluid out and air in. I didn't discover it until it was back from the test drive and found brake fluid spray all over the inside of the wheel. Also remember that if your drum is stuck to the hub, you can use the set screw to crack it open. I found both of mine were seized pretty good and hammering wasn't doing anything so I turned the set screw into the threaded hole on the drum and it popped right out.

Top Job, now have you done the rear shoes..

I replaced the handbrake mechanism on a Fiat Ducato that someone screwed up by putting the bottom spring in wrong, what a nightmare 🙄..
Thanks for the video mate. Do you have one for the rear drum brakes?
Thanks! Not yet if I get chance I’ll do one

Those discs looked very worn, how many sets of pads do you recon they had had over their lifetime?
Execellent. Thank you
You are welcome!
I have the same year model, and man the condition of that car is terrible, so much rust!
