Quick Question about brake discs

Recommended Posts

are they only held on by the wheel nuts?

 

is this normal? i can take a wheel off and then the disc is free to spin etc?

Nope should have one/ two screws holding them to the hub.. but main force is via wheel bolts running through discs and hubs...

 

Often screws are snapped come disc change time though.... One of my fronts has the same problem wich makes changing wheels a Royal PITA chasing the disc with a wheel bolt...

they are held on by the wheel nuts and 1 securing screw............chances are this could well be missing tho........but the disc will spin unless the car is in gear

I noticed this when i was changing the front pads. One side was ok, on the other side however the disc was free.

 

Im glad im not the only one.
