I need help with rear brake disc

[DriftKing]

I bought new rear discs with bearings and now they don't fit. They slightly rub on stub axle housing. What can I do? Maybe grind disc a little bit where it hits housing or do I need some kind of spacer. On picture you can see where it hits.

Have you got the spacer that fits behind the disc?

Like this

 

[DriftKing]

No, will this spacer fix the problem I got?

Yes, it should have been there in the first place!

@George@RTR_Parts will sort you a pair out.

New bearing has round edge, so I guess it goes deeper?

Unless the old disc has that spacer stuck inside it! Have a look...

 

[George@RTR_Parts]

Cheers @JamesBryan

the above spacers must be fitted/refitted both sides behind the rear discs on the 172/182

I get them made up locally and lots on the shelf @DriftKing send me a PM

more photos/info off them on RTR Parts

I looked and its part of the bearing, the old one hasn't had a spacer.

Ahh right, spacers needed from George then.

Anyone just a little bit grinded off discs?

No, your answer to the problem is above mate.

 

[JamesBryan]

I'll be surprised if your rear abs sensor is intact as well, if it's been run for that long without the spacer.

 

[DriftKing]

abs sensor like new

 

[DriftKing]

Those who has flat shaped bearing at the top doesn't need spacers I guess, because it's perfect fit.

 

[DriftKing]

Can someone confirm this?

 

[robzracing]

They always need the spacer.

The bearings probably flat faced because it's been run so long without a spacer, surprized the bearing survived that long!

I've absolutely no idea why you're arguing with people on this, just buy the spacers.

Amen!

 

[DriftKing]

Sorry for bothering you guys.

Sorry for bothering you guys.

It's not a bother, just listen to advice when people go out of their way to provide it!

The spacers are required, it's no bother, just accept it, buy them, fit them and move on.

Or have a go at grinding your brand new discs and ruining them when the reason they dont fit is because you need the spacers..

 

[DriftKing]

Yeah I will buy them, I just can't trust the first person who told me I need them.
Thanks for help.

Lol, but 4 people told you not Including myself and that was before you started getting funny about it.

Alot of garages forget to refit them when changing the rear discs which is why yours are missing, but they were there from the factory (please dont argue this, they were there) and it causes premature bearing failure and rubbing depending on the brand of disc your fitting.
