Title: Changing rear brake discs
Post by: Steve_B on 08 August 2008, 20:01

Am going to swap the rear discs and pads on the 8v soon and was wondering what's needed. Don't you have to remove and replace a wheel bearing to replace the discs. Have done the front discs before but have the feeling they're a lot simpler.

Looking at the haynes but you know how clear that can be!

Found this from using the search function:

So can I put the old race/bearings from the old discs into the new ones or is it worth getting new?

I'd replace them while you've got the whole lot off.
