LANCENEOMAN Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Hi folkes. So one of the advisories on the alst mot on the bug eye, was a scored rear disc. So ive bought 2 rear drilled and vented discs with Brembo pads for the front and rear. Are there any special tools needed for this etc.. cheers guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 you may need some penetrating oil / plus gas for the caliper bolts - you can get piston compressors for the calipers but if you are careful a lever will suffice. I always copper grease the surface of the anti squeal plates so the piston doesn't bind, a rubber mallet may be useful if the disc is a little tight, other than that ring spanners or sockets, possibly a philips head screwdriver, not sure if your discs have a retaining screw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gambit Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 As Jay said really. but very easy to do unless you have a stuck piston. Then it's headache time :) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommy Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Assuming its a similar design to the classic and most other brakes it is a simple enough job, unless of course you have seized pistons and rounded bolts, then it turns into a bit of a nightmare. other than that very simple. Although I would suggest spraying the caliper bolts with a penetrant the night before and then again before you start, makes it a lot easier to get off in they are seized at all. And then copper grease on the anti aqueeze plates 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
