172 Rear brakes

[Lagerlout]

Got some OEM discs and pads for a good price (nwperformance ) and going to fit them myself early next week.

Anything to look out for? What size sockets/spanner etc?

Will be useful if anyone knows as I'll have to borrow anything bigger than 19mm from work, and the French seem keen on using odd metirc sizes lol

Any advice appreciated!

No one? Could do with any torque settings (hub nut?) required. CAn't believe there's no guide for this lol

there is a guide somewhere. torque setting for hub nut is 180nm i think. you'll need a 17mm socket to get the calipers off. I did mine a few months ago, piece of piss - just make sure you get the flange washer on the right way otherwise it'll crack when you tighten the hub nut up.

Ian, you're a legend. Thanks mate.

I searched for a guide too :s

Don't supppose you could help me with the weather as well? About 15 degrees warmer next week, ta

Rear hub nut is 175 Nm,

Don't forget to put the spacer on before the disc.

Hub nut on mine was a right b**ch. Maybe worth soaking it in WD40 the night before.

Cheers lads. Got a 30mm single hex socket and mahoosive bar at work, sounds like I'll need those!
