They are so ridiculously easy its untrue 175nm on the rear hubnuts and it's replace the hub nut (I never bother but mine gets checked every 20 minuets of use) Also make sure you leave the spacer on the stub axle

Mmm okay fair point lol! Well if you were closer to me I would do it but i'm sure someone more local will help out soon
Give me a message. My mate will do them. Jamie winter. Find him on fb
Can get them done off a guy through Bishop for £80. Decent?
Give Jamie a text 07824 467686 You got all the parts?
yeah im getting the discs and pads from G172 on here, and the rears come with Bearings and ABS ring ready.

Easy enough for the rears then, crack them off with a breaker bar then tighten them up using a breaker bar but dont go stupid

if you go to pay the 80 sheets why not just buy yourself a torque wrench and do them yourself.. its easy enough m8

^ impact driver sorts them most of time mate
You get a couple of new screws in box with Brembo discs so you don't have to re use them if they're rounded etc

i took the grinder to my old discs few weeks ago as this happend.. just ground the remainder of the screw flat after i'd ground through the head of it or as G172 says impact driver sorts it out

You should really tighten up the rear hub nut with a torque wrench, to tight and you'll put to much pressure on the bearings and before you know it they'll be shot, also the front disc retaining screws can be stubborn but a good hit with a hammer and centre punch or torx bit soon loosen them up.
Wow thanks for all the replies. You really think its worth having a go myself then? Changed disc's and pads on my old vtr, cant imagine it being much different on the Clio?

Its is incredibly easy, even more so if you have alloys you can get to the hub nut through as you can crack them loose first. Rest is plain sailing just remember you have to wind the rear calipers back in.

How much mate?
£40 for the front and rear discs and pads, and I'll help you lol
Yeah I'd rather you done them, I'm not a pro, don't wanna start f**king about with bearings etc. Next weekend ok for you?? I've got the discs and pads here ready.
