Changing rear disks

[Munson]

Does anyone have a short guide on how to change these? The fronts look pretty easy but the rears contain the bearings too. Any info or advice appreciated as always

Buy them from ren, they already have bearings in.

ALl you need to do is remove the 2 17(iirc) from the caliper, remove handbrake cables, pull off the caliper, tap out the centre cap, 30mm nut in the middle, and then it'll come off. then once refitted, dont put the handbrake cables on, make sure the levers are right back, and pump the pedal, this will adjust the handbrake. then put the calbes back in and all done.

Just had mine done with OE Renault parts, mainly down to the wheel bearings starting to grumble...pricey!!!

Cool, cheers.

I will use OE rear disks as they do f**k all anyway. Mind you, judging by how worn they are, either they do, or they're made of cheese. The car has done 27k and the fronts are looking as though they need changing too - a fair lip, and pretty nasty rusting on the edge. I might buy new disks all around in a few weeks time.

Brembo HC's for the front Roy, nothing beats them for the price.

HC = High Carbon?

 

[Tighten My Nuts]

Yep

£55 from yozza IIRC

Yeah cheers Mark, I've checked them out. Cheaper than the OE disks ffs
