Rear disc replacement

Recommended Posts

I'm about to replace the rear discs and pads, together with new inner and outer bearings.

 

I have pressed the bearings into the disc/hub assemblies, together with the inner grease seals and am ready to wield the spanners.

 

What about the ABS rotors? Are they likely to survive being removed from the old assembly, or is it better to buy new? I imagine that, if they are distorted, they will give an error reading. And how do I press them onto the new hubs wthout damage - are there any pitfalls for the unwary? I would like to have all the parts to hand before I start pulling it apart.

 

Incidentally, I'll be at Stealth this afternoon for a rolling road session and general check over, so if anyone else is there, please identify yourself - it's good to put faces to names..... Mine is the '94 Classic Green VR.

 

Best wishes

Thanks, have done. Tomorrow's entertainment is "Spanner Time".

 

On the subject of my visit to Stealth, all was basically in order. I had the Superchip (!!) taken out and replaced with the original which finally got rid of the pinking, a VT mount now resides at the front and the engine is significantly more under control, and a rollers session confirmed a power output of 190.7 bhp - not bad for 173k miles. Added to all this was a friendly chat with everyone there. A great run back to St Albans on a deserted M40 completed one of those days not to be forgotten.

 

Best wishes

The 'Superchip's can also be remapped. I know this cos mine initially gave little or no improvement to my engine. I took it back, got it remapped & re-fitted & hey presto... much improved driveability with slightly more bhp.

 

In saying that, the dam thing cost me £260. not worth it IMO
