Rear disc & pad changing guide

[Terry172]

Have done a search in the guide section and can't find a guide for the rear disc but I can for changing the pad. Anyone have a guide or know where to get one? fubarnet.com is no longer running so can't use that one:dapprove:

dead simple mate, you'l have to remove the caliper from the carrier. two bolts. will be quite tight. Take your pads ouf first then remove the caliper.

once they are off you'l need to undo the hub nut. will be very tight. to do this i put two wheel bolts into the hub as normal (without wheel on) and put a bar through them so it cant turn, bar hits the floor and wont move. Then back of the main hub nut with a breaker bar. Pullthe disc off, put new one on. redo hub nut. Bearings come assembled already so no pressig involved. 5mins job to change a rear disc once the caliper is off

worth noting that sometimes the bearings seperate into pieces. When i removed my old disc part of the old bearing staying place, ithen fitted new disc and couldnt get the pads in. so make sure the old bearings are off complety before fitting new disc!

wasnt pleasant trying to figure out why the pads wouldnt go back on until i removed the disc again!

No probs, good luck. if you can change pads then you'l be able to change a disc with ease.

as stated easy job

another handy note, dont forget to swop the tiny spacers over. Mine came off with the old bearing and looked like they were apart of the bearing and i nearly forgot

K-tech do them for £171 inc p&p and they have the bearings fitted, plus I think i am right in saying that your ones are cheaper on there because you don't need the abs ring attached

Eurocarparts.co.uk do them as well but I am trying to work out if they have the bearings fitted or not lol

UPDATE... Got them at APD for +- £80 with bearing seperate. Got the garage to fit them, and they pressed it in at no extra charge. So saved all round
