Replacing 182 Rear Brake Discs

[COLZO]

If I buy OE discs with ABS ring and Bearings is it just a straight swap? What size is the hub bolt?


Cheers

Make sure you have a torque wrench. If not don't change them till you have.

Needs to be tightend back up to 175nm.

and don't forget the spacer that sits behind the disc!

Cheers lads. Got a torque wrench and wouldn't do any jobs without one! Noted on the spacer.

I never used a torque wrench in the 3 times I did it, wheels never fell off.

Ive never used one either. Its not exactly essential.

Not essential but highly recommended IMO.

Depends on what level of workmanship you work to.

Torque wrench is essential for these kind of jobs involving bearings as they need a correct preload.
