You won't see any benefits from race pads in the rear.
Just stick to the Brembos and you will be fine.
The rear brakes just about clean up the rusty discs after washing the car. [emoji23]
Yep rear pistons just wind back in bud.
Remove the rear pads and make sure the calipers slid back and forth freely.
If not then lube them up until they do, sometimes the grease is a little bit thick and doesn't make them slide to well.
Tim, if i was you id change all of the fluids and the belts.
Replace the water pump (Renault only) as its a pain in the ass to do if it fails and its easy while that side of the engine is in bits.
A re-con PAS pump is around £120, new is £250 but who's to say a re-con unit won't fail?
Leave...
Fluid yes if you want and while it's in bit's, I don't see the point in replacing the pump mate.
Where does it end?
Might as well fit a set of ARP rod bolts while your at it. [emoji2]
I'd just change all fluid's and filters bud.
Remove the pads and give them and good clean and cooper slip.
Unless things are worn out why replace brakes etc?
Hmmmmm. Remember to remove the washer from behind the old disc's and remember which way round it goes.
I'd replace the hub nuts as they are nylocks.
Also you must torque them back up to 175 nm. Failing to do this may fcuk up the bearings.
I did replace my bearings when I fitted the bolts to my ph1.
My car had only covered 51k but new bearings are only £25 from Renault.
(My old ones where like new)
