Rear Brakes on a 172 cup

[invisible man]

Can anybody advise me on replacing the rear discs on my 172 cup please, Will I need any special tooling to "wind" in the brake pistons etc or is it a fairly straight forward job?

Straightfoward, you'll want a big torque wrench to do the back hub nuts up to 175nm though. You can wind the calipers back in with a screwdriver.

I found the cheapest place when I changed mine last year were GDI who charged me £125 for geniune renault discs with bearings and abs rings. That was with the CS discount though if your a member.

I'm having rear disc & pads fitted in a local place for £125

The guy said they are made by Apex so better than stanard & slightly cheaper too
