Fitting new brake discs

[Mr Plums]

Hi, im thinking about ordering front and rear discs and pads.

Can the bearings and abs rings be re used? Ive read that the rear bearings are pressed into the discs?

If i dont buy any that have bearings already pressed in, is it a hard job to change them over and can the old ones be re used?

Are the front bearings pressed into the discs too?

Thanks for any info, ive done a search but i couldnt find what i need to know.

Buy them with the bearings already in. The discs last longer than the bearings

No bearings in the front discs. I just had trouble with my fronts as they've used two crappy torx screws to hold the disc to the hub. They were made of cheese and just rounded off rather than undo.

Thanks guys, ill get the rears with the bearings fitted then.

Don't forget the spacers for rear discs. Also try and get the rears with abs rings fitted. Save you the job off swapping them over. Which was a ball ache for me

Cheers mate, are the fronts straight forward?

​Can the front abs ring be re used?

Front abs rings are on the drive shafts. So you don't touch them.

Fronts are yeah, so are the rears if you have a torque wrench. Just to get the rear hub nut to the correct torque. And then just making sure spacers are fitted correctly.
