Phil Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 I need some advice please on how to replace the brake disks front and rear on my 1700ss dedion 1990, at the front the disks seem to be bolted to the back of the alloy hub and I need to know how to remove then please and are the rear as I have not looked yet, the same. On the rear callipers I understand a wind back tool is required to fit new pads, is this the ABS service tool for Fords or the little square box tool type? The reason for this is I have purchased a full set of EBC grooved and dimpled disks and a full set of green pads for road use only, thanks for any help given.

Delberts Wallet Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 To remove the front discs you have to remove the caliper, then undo the wheel bearing and the the hub/disc assemby comes off. There are then 4 bolts holding the disc to the hub. When refitting make sure that all the mating surfaces are clean and that you clean the discs with brake cleaner/degreaser to remove any sh!t left over. I've fitted the EBC drilled/grooved to my car but used Mintes 1144 pads. Gareth Blue and Carbon Supersport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Back's similar but more difficult to get it off the car to start with. Loosen the big nut on the drive shaft (big torgue and LH thread on ..... one side, forget which). Take the caliper off. Undo the bearing carrier from the ear and pull the driveshaft, hub and brake disc out from the car. Then you can fully undo the big nut and take the hub and brake disc off the drive shaft. The brake disc is then held on with four bolts the same as the front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHRIS CLARK Posted February 20, 2003 Share Posted February 20, 2003 Think this nut is twenty two mm. The lhs one is the LH thread. Wind back tool can be had from Halfords (about 20ukp) or you can struggle with long nose pliers etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted February 21, 2003 Author Share Posted February 21, 2003 THANKS FOR THE REPLIES, I NOW HAVE A WIND BACK TOOL [£12.50], THE QUESTION IS, AS THIS IS A DEDION CAR DO I HAVE TO REMOVE THE REAR DRIVE SHAFTS AS SUGGESTED AND IF SO DO I HAVE TO UNDO THEM AT THE DIFF.

Paul Richards. Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 Large nut on rear is 41mm and is left hand thread on nearside of car. No need to remove half shafts. In fact they are a push in fit in the diff and if you remove will lose gear oil. When caliper is removed And you'll probably have to remove brake pipe to do this (assuming rigid pipe has not been replaced by flexible hose), the disc and hub will then simply pull off the splines of the drive shaft. Replacement is reversal of removal, but need to tighten 41mm nuts to 200 lbs ft torque - that's a lot. Paul R. C7PPR K series that starts when hot!!
