Fitting black diamond brakes disc

[pacificshack 0]

Hi there,

 

Am about to have my discs replaced with some new Black Diamonds for the front and rear.

 

Is this an easy thing to do, and do I need to buy anything else for it? I heard that I may need new rear wheels bearings for the rear, is this true?

 

Thanks

 

Ian

Hiya,

 

The fronts are no real challenge - even I managed that. However the rears look a little more tricky.

 

Be a good idea to change bearings if you are whipping the back ones off, I got my local garage to do this.

 

Good luck

Yup, you'll want new rear bearings for the rear disks as well. If you're careful you can press them in yourself, but if you're unsure, get a local garage to do it. It won't take them long.

my mate gave me a hand with my rears, did the whole lot, calipers, disks, bearings,pads, used a something like a 27mm socket to press bearings in.

Yeah, worth noting that the rear bearings press into the disks, hence it being advisable to change them at the same time, rather than it just being a random suggestion :lol:

Got the discs changed today. New Bearings in. HAd the calipers painted red too. They look awesome!

 

Thanks for all your help.
