Fitting Brake discs

[harajack]

Hi all,
I have been putting off fitting the discs I bought ages ago.
Is it a whole kerfuffle to do?Any special tools required?
What size is the hub nut,so I can check if I have the right socket?
Thanks in advance.

Funny I only changed mine last weekend pryer to its MOT, I took some photos of the job to do a workshop download, only problem is they are still on the camera at work and I haven’t had the time to sort them as yet, if you can wait until Monday then I will get them for you to help you along.

Its not a difficult job and the hub nut is not a hex nut instead it is a nut with holes in locked in place with a washer that is attached to the nut with a couple of philips headed screws, but it will not be tight to undo, it will probably only be hand tight, due to not having a cassette bearing in the hub only a couple of taper roller bearings.

I'll keep an eye out for the download aswell. I've recently replaced the calipers and pads only, as the discs were fine. It will be handy for future reference.

Lee. :wink:

Not as yet mate I can only apologise, been a bit hectic with brother-in-law and his misses in hospital after a nasty RTA and to top it all I crushed my thumb at work this morning, not broken thankfully, so I haven’t had the time, will try and get some info to you soon.
