New Discs And Pads Fitted.

[Rikos]

I had my discs and pads fitted on Saturday with a huge helping hand from Aaron. Thank you mate.

We had a bit of trouble getting a couple of bolts of (thankyou Aarons dad) and also took a few wacks to get the discs off but all sorted now. No more shuddering when braking and hopefully when they've bedded in they'll be nice and sharp.

Only thing is the front drivers side front bake makes a rubbing noise, not loud and cant hear eat outside the car. I had the wheel off last night and couldnt see anything. Any ideas anyone? or is it just the new brakes settling in or something?

What type did you go for?

It could be the splash plate behind the disc rubbing slightly...I had a rubbing noise when I had mine done, (front and rears) i put it down to the rears, they did bed in...nice and quiet now :)

I got the mintex discs and pads seem pretty good so far, hopefully they will bed in and be ok then.

So Rikos was it hard to do? I need to take mine off to just check if it them, thats also making the vibrations through the brakes for me.. Does it take long to do also?

[Rikos]

Not hard at all, couple of the bolts where on a bit tight but apart from that was fine. Took about an hour for the first one as we were taking our time and got stuck with the bolts and getting the disc off but the second one took about 15 mins to swap over.

hi buddy,

just whip a little more copper grease on the underneath the calliper pistons(where they meet the pads) its just when the brakes are new there trying to sort themselves out

[Rikos]

I'll have to pick some up then mate and whack some on, cheers fella (just hope i get the right bit) :duh:

could be a sticky piston as well....

[Rikos]

How do you go about solving "sticky piston"

[wow300]

How do you go about solving "sticky piston"

Basically you need to lift the rubber seal and put grease around the piston and exercise it by pushing it in and out

[Rikos]

Remove rubber and push in and out that sounds like bad advice to me

Sorry to lower the tone

The noise seems to have gone now so hopefully they're all sorted
