Fitted a pair of front discs bought from Gheeks.
All went well. Used a manual impact driver to loosen the brake disc bolts.
Some had signs of rust which I was able to remove.
The disc has road salt behind which was quite hard and a wire brush was needed with a lot of elbow grease, but eventually all gone.
Replacements on and all bolt tight as per service manual only 23Nm. A lot less than it took to remove....
I have fitted NEW pads not bought the SBS sintered previously fitted, but bought BENDIX BEN-134-MF also sintered......
But I am a little concerned that the 42k miles on the old discs could have been caused with using sintered pads.....
Will I suffer the same issue in the future!!!
darrsi talks about the Galfer pads are these sintered!
Should I move away from Sintered pads, but I want stopping power will I get it with the Galfer pads!!!
Any comments appreciated.
Cheers,
