Changing front discs?

[Pep]

Is it as simple as I'm expecting?

Caliper off and out the way, old disc off, new disc on?

Do I need to cipper slip the rear of the disc a bit on the mating face?

 

[Gray]

Yep really is that easy mate... takes about 10mins each side!

i put a bit of copper slip on, just out of habit tbh.

if its the rears and u havent had any experience doing brakes before then i wouldnt attemp.

he said FRONT discs?!!??!

And why wouldn't you recommend somebody attempting the rears? IMO the rear discs are easier to change than the fronts?!

 

[Pep]

Nah just the fronts for now mate.
Thanks for the help Gray. I've spoke to my mate about the susp setting and he says he'll let me know when hes got some free time. Really sorry I havent got in touch, my memory is shite.

 

[Gray]

No worries dude!

Think I have it sorted out now... going to visit a local Clio cup race team

the retaining screws can be a pain if they've seized. easy to drill out though

 

[Pep]

~All sorted and taken for a quick spin, feels fine
Retaining screws came out easily, wernt even in what I would call tight!

Thanks to Gray for the help though, though i would have to leave it!

 

[Gray]

No worries dude, good chatting to you!

Rear ones are dead easy. Infact the whole braking setup on the clio is easy to change. The only problem I had with the rear is getting my socket bar long enough to get enough leverage to remove the hub nut!
