brakes HELP......

[ck786]

when changing my rear brakes.... do i need 2 change my bearings or my ABS sensor, or can i just get away with changing just the disc's and pads.

 

[DrR]

Bearings come pressed in the new disks. ABS sensor? never touched any of that when doing mine.

 

[MRBILLYUK]

I think he means the abs rings ?? If your new discs don't come with the abs rings you'll have to remove them from your old discs and put them on your new discs . Heat them up to remove them .

 

[ck786]

cheers.......
"heat them up"...... how ?...... is tat a bit of a mission.

 

[DrR]

Have you bought the new disks yet?

 

[MRBILLYUK]

^^^ Good question ! If you haven't , make sure you buy ones with the bearings already in and abs rings .

If you have , use a blow torch to heat them up , they should just drop off , while they are still hot put them on your new discs .

 

[ck786]

no havent bought them yet.......
i know they can b quite expensive all in.....
anyone know where i can get a set from (rear's). without it hurting my pocket.... if not i just have 2 make do with just the pads... wats ur advise on decent, inexpensive rear pads. which one's?

No other option IMO.

shitttttt that aint cheap......
luckly rear disc's are still ok....
looks like pads it is....
which one's u reckon without hurting the pocket...

 

[DrR]

Why you want to replace them if they are ok?
Any rear pads are fine they don't do much from what people say on here.

cheers gud man......
its just tat iv got alot of things 2 change....
im doing 60k service + cambelt replacement and brakes...
tryin 2 on top of thigs, makin sure i do all necessary stuff and not forget anything...
wat u reckon? do u think iv left anything out:
1. front disc's + pads
2. rear pads
3. cambelt kit.
4. aux belt
5. oil filter
6. fuel filter
7. spark plugs
8. oil.

also is there any particular brands 2 go 4 in regards 2... oil...spark plugs..... etc....

 

[DrR]

What ever Renault use is best IMO.

 

[Fred@BTM]

measuse the thickness of the rear discs, from memory 7mm is the minimum

 

[ck786]

its just that i need 2 know wat i do and dont need..... cause im goin 2 b doin everything myself .... so u reckon iv covered all the parts list....

 

[MRBILLYUK]

The fuel filters good for 144,000 miles .

 

[ck786]

cool...... rule tat 1 out then......
also my stop and handbrake lights flash on and off alot of the time....
also i just did the quick diagnostic check... came up with fault "t" and "h".... something 2 do with ignition and oil sensor respectively

 

[MRBILLYUK]

Your stop and handbrake light is probably worn pads , causing low level brake fluid .

" t " means an injection fault and " h " is like you say , oil level sensor fault . You can reset them with the button for resetting your trip computer .

[ck786]

nice...... but i suspect tat wouldn't sort the faults out would it,.....
wouldn't they still b there... or am i wrong... it will sort it out

 

[MRBILLYUK]

I had the " t " come up on my 172 once . I reset it and it never came back again .

 

[ck786]

ok.... i'll try it..
but doesn't it mean iv got a problem with the injection system though...
and should'nt it b checked out or rectified
