changing rear discs
Discussion
I have tried to search this, but nothing is coming up. I have bought some nice new rear discs from Brummie and am keen to get them fitted. I have changed discs on cars many years ago, but thought i would ask here if there is anything i should be aware of? Is it nice and straight forward like changing the starter motor was?
my cerb is a 2001 4.5
Thanks for advise

I've found loosen the shoes totally off, new disk on, count the amount of clicks you have to put on until the disk bites, then hit the hub with a nylon or copper hide mallet then adjust again, then back it off a few clicks, that should give enough bite on the hand brake lever.
Personally as i have a steep drive i don't have to do far to test it.
Good idea to give the insides a clean out, and a wire brush on the shoes, rough them up abit.

Hello, Mr Clutch? I'd like to book my car in. Tuesday? Perfect, bye.You do not have to undo the hub nut to replace the discs,its quite straightforward,once you have removed the wheels :-
1.Remove the disc pads
2.Remove the caliper
3.You may need to push the pistons back in the caliper
4.I think there is a screw holding the disc to the hub,if so undo this and the disc should pull off.
5.Refitting is a reversal of the above,you can adjust the handbrake through the back of the hub with a screwdriver.
Have fun.....i have mine to do too !!!!

1. Take it to APM
2. Relax in the garden
3. Pick it up
This is by far the most reliable method :-)

3. Pick it up
This is by far the most reliable method :-)
