FAO Captain Slarty





Will be changing the rear brake discs on my car at the weekend. Is this a reasonably easy job? Will I get away with using the existing wheel bearings and if so do you know torque settings for how tight they should be? Your help would be much appreciated Captain.

Hi M8,
sorry, I dont have the torque figure for the hub nut

the process is fairly straight forward though.

heres a diagram.

check the wheel bearings by feeling for play at 12oclock and 6 oclock with the whell fitted, also at 3oclock and 9oclock.

the whell should also rotate freely with no noise from the bearings, if thats ok, great.

wheel bearing kits are 33 pounds plus vat from reno. (Each side!)
 


Cheers Captain. Thats the pic they had up on the computer yesterday when I went in to order the discs. Very useful. Thanks very much indeed. Those bearings are damn pricey. Think I will make a concerted effort to remove the existing ones!
 


Capn - could you get me a schematic of how I can remove the top and bottom parts of the dash in my RSi - same shape as 172?? Many thanks
 


Hiya Cup...
