rear disc and pad change...how hard can it be ?

[bananaman1]

I'm guessing that all four wheels need to be off the ground then rotated till adjust er is visible ?

Yep, my personal favourite method for removing old discs.

Grab a lump hammer and start swinging

See the post from adamfraser he said the adjuster is on the front if the disc. Try downloading the manually on the link I gave

Hole can be seen here http://www.rexnet.com.au/forum/index.php?/topic/15...

Not a problem finding the hole....but lining hole up with adjuster was the issue.

Anyways. ...thanks to all who passed on there knowledge. ...i seem to have done a good job as the brakes still work :-)

[bananaman1]

But........long story short.....couple of months ago..car went into respected garage to have 4 year service...and to identify a squeak from wheel....service done....noise identified as discs in bad condition. ...he was right......but still have same noise as before :-(...any ideas ? Hubs been checked and deemed to be good.....go round corners I get a ...ek...ek..ek.....but not all the time ?

Hope the above makes some sense....having a beer to celebrate my success at changing discs and pads :-)

If changng the rears get 2 M10 bolts, and screw them into the 2 'spare' holes between the wheel studs. They will pull the disc off the hub without any Clarkson-esque violence.

That trick worked a doddle when I did the rear discs and pads on my 05 WRX earlier this year.
