Club 80-90 Forums

Is there a good write up of a ‘how to’ with pictures anywhere for replacing the front brakes? Disks and pads an, presumably, bearings too. It’s an ‘89 1.9DG.

I found the caliper replacement guide in the Wiki and I have a Haynes manual but I just wondered if anyone had done a straight forward ‘you need this and do this’ for a simple soul like me?

Any tips very much appreciated.

Thanks itchyfeet,

I had read that with interest... my technical skills are pretty woeful so a hand-holding guide was sought. [WINKING FACE]

Brakes and wheels staying on are pretty important

It may be fairer to say that I am meticulously precise and exacting and only undertake things when I’m certain that I know everything about how to do it. No knack, just research. [WINKING FACE]

Good attitude I like it.

Also I don’t want the wheel to fall off while driving...

Rather than hoping for a how to guide for nervous mechanics why not read through the manuals and then come asking questions on points you are concerned about.

I will start you off

Q how do I get the hub nut grease covers off.

Q how do I get the brake carrier off
A brake carrier bolts are very tight need a 2 foot breaker bar to get them undone and a big torque wrench to do them up. torque setting in haynes.

A ‘guide for nervous mechanics’ would likely sell very well. ;D
