Rear Pads and Discs

[ian cupra r]

Does anyone have a guide on how to replaced rear pads and discs on a LCR 225 2005 05 plate?

Rear pads and discs are very easy to change. Follow your nose on how to do it, honestly really easy, just need a piston rewind tool as the piston needs to be pushed in and twisted at the same time.

make sure the handbrake is off when rewinding them.

take out caliper guide pins, the discs will come off without removing caliper brackets, undo retaining screw, be gentle they are fragile.

take disc out.

take old pads out, note which way they came out

use wind back tool to retract the piston, not forgetting to undo fluid reservoir cap.

wind piston in fully, dont force it. if pads are bare then the piston may have fell off the threads.

replace pads, use copper grease on the backs to stop squeal.

disc back on, caliper back on.
pump pedal before test driving... dont forget to replace the fluid cap.

job done.

really easy, put some copper slip on the hub aswell before putting the discs back on.
