Matt e : 150nm.... then a bit more ..... obviously I can't know if I got to 175nm
what I can say is that one of them came off WITHOUT reaching 150nm !!:eek:
I recon it'll be OK... it not as critical as bolting down a cylinder head... but then again you don't want a wheel going walkabout do you...
Answering my own question concerning disc alignment....... in this case, since the discs include the wheel bearings there is nothing you can do to adjust the alignment anyway...... except remove them and reassemble and hope you get a better fit..... So I conclude that it is not something to...
PANIC over ..... at least on the drivers side;) ..... the time it took me to make the posting allowed the WD40 to do it's work and a subsequent clout with the hammer got it moving..... so old off and new one on ..... I'll do the other side tomorrow... but have already got the WD40 working:cool...
Hmmmmm..... so it can be 'ard......... you mean a puller with three big arms to grab the outside of the disc ??
So I've not missed anything then...... and it should come off it I hit it hard enough :banghead:
I'm ~900Km south of Dover so I guess that's a bit far ;)
OK... it's time to PANIC!
I've got the brake pads & calipre off without any real issues.... and the 30mm hub/bearing/disc nut is off too..... the disc wobbles making me think that the bearing is knackered but the disc aint coming off..... I've tried leaving with a 2ft tyre lever and a 4lb...
Thank you for the comments, I will bear that in mind when/if I ever change the front discs...... the rear ones I have are in a box covered with the words "Group Renault - original parts" so I take that to imply OEM....
...... Finally I have new discs (82quid a set from Dave), new pads, 30mm socket... so I recon I'm ready to goto work this evening...... one last question..... (well two) I always clean the discs with petrol.... not brake or carb cleaner (any comments welcome) and I've never messed about with...
Hello,
I have a rs 182 2005 and I noticed the engine cuts when I'm overtaking or having 'fun' and I know that I must be in the 7000rpm range perhaps a little over but honestly in these situations I'm watching the world outside and not the rev counter. Reading this thread it confirms that there...
Just regular halogens..... still bright enough though.
In the end I changed the whole light unit.... but still not convined that I really needed to do it...... the front lens (glass) has NO diffraction patern on it to aim the light towards the curb. So the only thing left is the rear reflector...
OK the best deal & service seems to be from ebay seller....renaultcarparts_com ......only 82 quid for a disc set incl. bearings and ABS rings ... just need to collect & fit..... I hope they fit ;0))
Still on brakes ...... I noticed that you can get drilled and/or grooved discs...... to improve...
Hello,
I've a clio 182 cup 2004/5 and the rear discs are AT the wear limit i.e. 7mm. The pads need replacing (<2mm left). The quote from Renault is over ~270 quid to replace the lot and I'm having trouble finding the right discs WITH wheel bearings/ABS ring for <170/pair.... coupled with doubts...
Hello,
I have just imported a right hand drive clio 182 2005 into France and understood that I need to change the headlights. HOWEVER, now that I have the light units in my hands I see that there are TWO adjustments. One is accessible when the unit is mounted in the car..... very long thin screw...
