Rear Bearings

[Judderi]

Ok last night i set to work changing my disks and pads front and rear. I did the fronts no problem. However i hit a snag with the rears. When i got the old rear disk of i realised i would have to transfere the bearings into the new disk. I got them out the old disk no problem but when i went to fit them to the new disk noticed they did not fit snug as if they were too small. Will i need to get different bearings or are the disks the wrong type? Help guys.

Did you take the bearing shells out of the old disk?

just buy new bearings. they are cheap and your better off

yeah i took the bearing shells out of the old disks. Even if i do buy new ones whats to say they are the right ones? I might get ones that are too small again. Are they different sizes?

[Judderi]

Or, is there a shim i need to take out of the old disk too?

the smaller bearing fits in the front of the disc, the bigger one in the rear, if the standard bearings dont fit you might have been sent the wrong discs??? or theyve been machined wrong???

take some pics and post em up.....

You might aswell buy some new bearings for the cost of em, not much and peace of mind ... simple enough to do , make sure they are pressed in right though
