172 rear disks

[Kinsella]

I'm looking at some cross grooved and drilled for my car, ive been on K-tec --- ive had my car about 2 weeks now and when looking on k-tec it says the rears come with bearings ???


ive only ever owned saxos and 106's and they had rear disks that just slid on and off, so is replacing the rears a big job ?? is the bearing an actually wheel/hub bearing ?? it sounds a big job just to replace the rear disks ??

the bearing is inside the disc, easy slide off/on job

1 x 30mm hub nut (replace with new ones always)
you have to the upper caliper pad carrier (2 x 17mm IIRC)

i wouldn't bother with uprated rears, the rears do bugger all (especially on cups)

its just the p*ssing around with the bearings thats the problem, when I replaced my rears for grooved I just bought them with new bearings already pressed in, I needed one new one on the back anyway.
