New Brake Discs - is fitting an arse?
#4
I haven`t changed the discs on my fazer but I did on my zrx1100. The bolts usually have some type of threadlock on from the factory and I found the best way to undo them was to heat the bolts up with a paint stripper and and while a mate sat on the bike and held the front brake on I just slackened off the bolts a bit.Then when I removed the wheel from the bike all the bolts came off ok.
I put a piece off sheet metal I had lying around between the tyre and the disc to protect it from the heat.
I wasn`t bothered about the heat maybe warping the discs as they were going in the bin but if you wanted to re-use the discs this method might not be ideal.
Also I put threadlock on the bolts when I put the new discs on.
