who fitted their rear disks 172 themself

[Clarkie172]

if u did, can u remember the first thing that goes back on the stub axel? i have the disc itself with bearing in and then a little metal circular thing with a lip on it and then some sort of spacer that fits in the middle! this mysterious spacer thing is what goes on axel first correct? can anyone please find me a part number for it as i ordered the wrong bit from renault 6000073518

Thanks

Paul

I have done them on MK1 myself.. There is a metal sort of thing that goes on axel first with a lip. It is a sort of seal that fits to back of disc nce on axel.

i did them myself. are you talking about that ring thats seperate above?

if you are, then i didnt put it back onto the new discs as it looked like it was already there?
you both got me worried now.... Heh

 

[Clarkie172]

see that gold thing in the pic, thats what i need! dan, does that just sit as it is now in the disc or do u have to flip it over?

 

[fUbAr]

it flips over, however like i said it looked as though it was already in place in my new discs.

if its not part of the new discs, then ive been driving for a month without them! lol.

Did you use the old bearings Paul?

 

[Clarkie172]

i dont think mine did they never anyway as i had to use the old ones! it shattered to pieces when i tightened the hub nut back up?

i never mate...they were new renault discs ???

 

[Clarkie172]

who else got renault discs? or did u boys get aftermarket ones? i want to no if i was supposed to get that spacer thing with the new discs?

 

[fUbAr]

does this help at all?

and if any techys are looking, i still wanna know if i need to fit those rings in that photograph above?

 

[Clarkie172]

is that gold thing in the pics number 8?

 

[Fred@BTM]

which number on the diagram??? if its number 8, then yes you do

 

[fUbAr]

i think number 8 is the ring part thats loose on top of my photo above mate...

really not sure.

 

[fUbAr]

fred, is number 8 the part thats sat on the disc photo above?

 

[Clarkie172]

i think its the loose part in your photo dan but just the GOLD bit? benR gave me a part number and all i got was the silver outer edge (shown on top of the disc in your pic) that wraps around the gold cenre bit. in the diagram it looks like one complete part? inner gold bit and outer silver?????

i didnt get either with my new brakes off yoz

 

[Clarkie172]

anyone?

 

[Sawa]

Reno rear disks come complete with the bearings in or at least mine did!

Sorry not much help as I didnt fit mine, got a nice mechanic to do it for me!

 

[Day]

Best to ask Mike, hes done these everyday for the last three years I guess.
