Help! - Rear Discs

[skinner]

Should 172 rear discs come with the abs ring fitted, or do you have to remove it from the old disc?

If you have to use the old one, any tips on removing it? It doesnt want to come off!



Cheers

Mine came from Renault with shiny new abs rings and bearings.

Think you need a tool to remove them properly as well.

Mine are waiting to be done as soon as I can get my wheel locks off

If its the same as the mk1s the reno ones come wiht bearings etc in them, mostof the aftermarket ones dont

Is the ABS bit the big cog? Youll need a press to get the bearings in there to.

Yes and Yes

Its ok for us cup guys, dont think cupcakes old car had them on when i fitted them for him.

Yes, great if youve got a cup!

For anyone changing rear disks themselves I would strongly recommend getting them from Renault and saving a lot of grief!

Plus the bearing is daft money from Renault as well (it more often than not gets damaged on removal from the old disk).

Never fit a secondhand bearing IMO.

Also if you chip a tooth off the abs ring your gonna get a warning light on, and the abs wont work.

In my experience if the ring is fitted to the disc the new disc came with the ring fitted.

Still not found it yet then!

Im due to get new rear discs (to cure bearing prob!) and pads fitted once my life has settled down!

Discs from Reno cost £179.00 odd iirc for the pair and the pads are about £25.00 a pair.

if u need to get bearing in use a big socket to fit the outside edge of the bearing and make sure it goes though the middle of the disc so it does not get stuck in there. u can tap the abs ring of but be carefull. and to get new pads in if u got abs u have to wind the piston back with a big screw driver or crow bar that fits in the cross u cant push them back.
