rear brake discs and wheel bearings.

[yellow_chris]

as im new to clios i dont know this so sorry if its silly .

is it easy enough to remove and refit the discs and wheel bearings without damaging the wheel bearing?
thanks

 

[DannyR]

Yes, they should just pull off and go back on. If they are knackered though they may split when pulling off, in which case you needed new ones anyway.

 

[yellow_chris]

thanks mate just wanted to be reassured that if brakes with good bearings come of ok theyl go back on ok.

 

[DannyR]

Yes

Out of interest why are you removing them?

 

[Tony Hunter]

Don't lose or misplace the little spacer washer either. Many people do.

i cant afford to get brand new ones till the end of next month so i need replacement ones with good bearings to last untill then.
i know people are going to say thats pointless just wait and get ones when you can afford it but i cant wait as the bearing is about to collapse in one of the rear discs and i need my car for work ..when it comes to the end of april start of march time il have enough spare money to go get a set of brembo rears with new bearings and rings.

Seriously if you can't afford to get these you can't afford to run the 182, they're the price of 2 tanks of fuel.

i cant afford to buy the discs at the moment becuase ive just gone from been weekly paid to monthly pay so im going 5 weeks without pay untill i get my pay rise? i can afford to run the car if not i wouldnt of bought it, ive just got 5 weeks without trying to spend all of my money.

Not pointless, no. I'm skint too!

So your gonna find a scrappy near you that has an rs clio? Hope you get it sorted soon mate!

Not got a credit card/overdraft/parents lend you money, be cheaper in the long run.

 

[yellow_chris]

i understand itl be cheaper in the long run but im not a fan of lending money..reason i dont care for buying new ones in a month or so is because i get a pay rise so il be able to afford them anyway

 

[DrR]

So instead of borrowing money which will cost you literally nothing, you'd rather by second hand ones, for maybe £40? Fit them, wait a month then spend another £100ish then fit them again?

 

[yellow_chris]

itl be 1-2months.. and yes. my pay is going to more than double in a month and a half as im going from a last year apprentice to an engineer so paying for new brakes in 1-2months time isnt going to bother me if it saves me money at the moment since im going 5 weeks without pay.

 

[DrR]

Ok, up to you, just seams like hassle to me lol.

 

[yellow_chris]

i know it does mate lol most people will see it as pointless but itl make my life easier for the next 1 to 2 months

 

[DannyR]

I'd just set up a £100 overdraft for the month!
