I tried to take the discs off and I ended up rounding the nut that holds the disc. How do I get the disc off now?
@KevsShed4 жыл бұрын
This has happened to me in the past, If it is a disc that you are going to discard then use an angle grinder to remove the head of the bolt. Then you can remove the disc and the stud left behind will usually be easily removed with a decent set of grips.

@cbpriv4 жыл бұрын
Be sure to use medium strength threadlocker after cleaning the bolts, that way they will stay on, even if you cant find the right torque values and just snug them up, dont put greace on the bolts, thats what I did on my 1 series.

Sorry I went to do this today and found it hard to get to the back bolts? I have a 1 series 5 door it looks relatively the same ? Except it's a solid disc not vented. Can I ask what you used to get the bolts out? A 16mm 6 sided Hex fits Do you use a 16mm 3/8 drive hex socket with a universal joint and a 3/8 ratchet ? Just dont know what tools I need to get to the bolts Wanna do these for myself obviously safely but have a go. Can you list the tools you used please I'd be a massive help ?

@AT90_2 жыл бұрын
Most pads now come with a material backing plate which mitigates the need for it on the bad of the pads. However it’s good practice to apply anti seize on any contact points to prevent them seizing in. If the hub has been copper slipped the disc would have been much easier to remove.
