ABS light and handbrake light on after disc change?
« on: 14 January 2013, 17:28 »
Hi guys,

changed my rear discs today and now my ABs light is on and so is the handbrake light? Any ideas?
I noticed on my old discs, on the back in the hub where you press the rear wheel bearing, it was like a cog. where as my new ones where smooth. Could this be the problem or something else?

Tah!

Very hard to get off sometimes and easy broke, only cost few quid for a pair on eBay

Got them off and all sorted now :) soaked them in WD over night then hit them with a big 'persuader' and they literally fell off!
