Rear brakes / discs

[littlemissnaughty]

Ok so at the weekend I noticed the rear brakes are not breaking evenly... If that makes sense...
There leaving lines of the rusty marks on the discs...and the drivers rear side was hardly touched...

My worry is do I need to replace both brakes and discs?

 

[Simon@SprayShack]

Sticking slider on the one side, overhal both side....pads and discs........IMO id use mintex discs, i wouldnt bother with gen renault they are like cheese and rust like hell. You should always do both sides with brake's........

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Ok cheers..

Would this also explain the reason the them being locked on from cold..

 

[Simon@SprayShack]

Highly likely, they do rust on a bit, they need an overhal really once a rear to be honest the rears, IMO of course,.......the discs dont last esp if you using more aggressive pads that OEM quality. OEM quality pads are actually fine for the rears, im running DS2500 but generally the way i drive, i replace the disc with the pads.....as both are always mullared at the same time.

Ok cheers..

I'd just get OEM rear discs and pads as a set from Adam at Renault Wolverhampton on here.

No messing about getting bearings pressed in then.

 

[Simon@SprayShack]

The ones from motor factors (mintex) also come with ABS rings and the bearings.......and are ~£25-30 a side +VAT

Question

Why would I need to touch the bearings if I'm just changing the rear discs and brakes?

Or is it not the straight forward?

 

[lesley]

The rear wheel bearings are built into the discs

 

[Tony Hunter]

Speak to George =G172 to sort you out.

 

[GW200]

G172 is the man when it comes to brakes

Greatttttttt

 

[Wrighty.]

Don't forget to check/replace the spacers behind the rear discs.

 

[littlemissnaughty]

So I will need
Disc
Pads
Spacers

Anything else?

A torque wrench that will tighten the hub nut back up to 175nm.

Also there is a washer that if you don't correctly refit, you will be doing the whole lot again in a month.

Spacers SHOULD already be there, I'd go on the assumption they are.

Make sure you a) remove them and b) re-fit them the correct way.

I've had this car nearly 4 months and I know the guy changed pads over for the ring which I have.. Maybe I should ask him the question..

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Arrrrrrrr...

Should I just change it all for safety

 

[Rob]

What are you talking about?

Spacers are just that, a spacer. If they're there, changing them will make no difference, it's like changing your oil filler cap when you do an oil change to make it better.

If they're not there, the bearing's should have failed by now so I'd assume they are there.

Replace disks (bearing included (IMPORTANT)) and pads.

Free up and grease all sliders and make sure pistons move freely.

Sorted

Cheers Rob
And everyone

 

[Rob]

As you have a cup I understand you have no ABS? So you don't need to make sure there's an ABS ring.

 

[littlemissnaughty]

Ok cheers...
