Rear disc replacement
« on: 25 July 2018, 10:49:45 »
I need to renew the rear discs. They are the solid disc type on 2.2 2003.

Will any cheap discs do for the back or is it recommended to get a decent brand name?

get a 50% flash discount code off EuroCarParts, they run quite often. Just get any brand on the back, 2.2 does not have traction control and won't do much on the rears. So any discs should do  :y

Have a rummage on ebay and buy the cheapest Apec/Ate/Brembo ones you find that don't come from Carpartssaver/carparts4less/ECP.

Then buy the genuine rear pads being sold for £15 and get busy :y

I have 2 part numbers for the front disc set kit. 13441811 and 93175466. What one is correct for 2.2 2003?

Only 93175466 is a disc/pad set...

Tother is a clip.

Incidentally, there's a NOS set on ebay for less than £40... Search by the part number ;)

How on earth do I get the shoes mechanism back in?

Does the cast block that the mechanism goes through have to come out in order to refit it?

Screwdriver to pull down spring clip, or pliers. Can’t remember what I used, they are fiddly.
