Rear brakes......advice needed before the weekend
« on: 30 April 2007, 20:04 »
This weekend i am fitting new rear brake's (mainly due to a knackered wheel bearing and worn disc's).. I have bought the disc's and i am wondering about the abs ring's..
1. Are these fitted to my car on the rear's??
2. if so should i replace them???
3. is there any advice/tip's that could make the job a bit easier??

I have bought new rear disc's,full bearing kit's for both side's,pad's and pad fitting/anti squeele kit..
and it's a 1995 8v with 280mm front brake's (I am sure they changed the abs system for the 288mm set up???)....

Thanks in advance

There are rings on the back of the discs , you will be able to see if they are installed when the new parts arrive.
