allegro Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Can somebody give me a safe procedure for removing the front discs on my SLR. I guess take off caliper, then remove nut retaining the bearings. Will the bearings fall on the floor ? Yes I am a total novice. But then we all are until we've done it once. Thanks - hopefully in advance. Andy Mac C7 GON 😬 Team Langoustine.

Mark H Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Andy you have it right so far , you can pinch the outer bearing between your thum and for finger( or use pin nose pliers 😬) the rear one will stay in the hub carrier usually held by the rear seal. then if you have a vice place the disc between the jaws and undo the 4 retaining bolts on the inside of the disc... thats about it Mark. flares n, flames Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted May 7, 2003 Share Posted May 7, 2003 Its dead easy - as I found out when I repacked my wheel bearings & stripped the whole lot down to the stub axles. et a piece of sturdy string tied to a wishbone to hold the weight of the calliper off the steel brake pipe. The only slightly fiddley bit is getting the calliper back on as the pads can move a bit - its not too bad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Mupferit Posted May 8, 2003 Share Posted May 8, 2003 Andy, I will show you a mod I carried out for the quick and easy removal of the bearing dust cap when you come round on Friday. Makes life a lot easier and allows removal of the cap without destroying it. Brent 7 back together and almost a runner 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
