Rear brakes guidance

[jonnyo182]

Afternoon all,

My rear pads and discs need fitting on my 182. I'm aware that the discs have the bearings fitted but do these need to be pressed or is this something I can do with on my driveway with a hammer? Also is the readjustment of the handbrake shoes easy to do?
Finally, does anyone know where I can get a tech/service and procedure manual for the 182?
Cheers,
Jon

Bearings will require a press. Best to buy the discs with them already fitted.

No handbrake shoes, the handbrake works off the caliper. There is adjustment on the cable, under the exhaust heatsheild

Cheers burp,

Does that mean they will just slide straight on to the hub shaft if they come with fitted bearings?

i needed a lot more than a plastic mallet to get disc/hub off then the inner bearing stuck on stub axle but the trusty claw hammer got it off rough i know but it worked:rasp:
