All the goodies supplied, but still needed to go to the shop to get cotter/split pins for the castellated nuts of the stub axles and balljoints (or get nylon balljoint nuts) Possibly some grease off to clean up dirty parts and brake cleaner to clean rotors before installation.
Old wheels and rims off, old caliper off, two bolts hold it in place, an allen key bolt and if I recall correctly a 5/8. Use some he-man strength to undo these
Rotor off, take out the old cotter pin, undo nut and pull rotor off, take off old bearings and grease seal, throw in bin, sell/bin old rotors.
Steering arm and stub axle off, two bolts hold the steering arm on 5/8 bolts and one has a 11/16 nut. Torqued at about 55 nm if I remember correctly, move steering arm to the side.. you dont need to unbolt tie rod end. To get off stub axles undo ball joint nuts, but do not take completely off the balljoint. Get a decent size hammer and carefully but forcefully hit the stub axle where it slides into the balljoint arm until it is released.. top and bottom. Then completely undo the nuts and remove stub axle. The shock absorber will keep it in place.
Brake caliper adaptor plates on stub axles, done up finger tight for photo
Stub axles cleaned up and put on opposite sides of car (left to right) so mount caliper on opposite side (to clear tie rod), Use a large G-clamp when putting stub axle back on to compress the spring to be able to do up balljoint nuts, do up as hard as you can.. will torque them up later. Steering arm then mounts back on, installation is reverse of removal.
Hub is installed, grease up stub axle with high temp wheel bearing grease, slide on grease seal and first bearing, put on hub, slide on second bearing, put on bearing cover/protector and put on castlellated nut. Do up until you create a slight pre-load, then back off slightly to the first available cotter pin hole, check end float.. a little is OK.
Slide rotor onto hub,
***Put wheels back on rotate to full lock, lower car to the ground and slide under car to torque up balljoints, raise car back up, full lock steering other direction, lower down and torque up other balljoints. The cars weight will stop them from spinning. Jack car back up, remove wheels, continue installation***
Use some wheel nuts to hold rotor in place once wheel is off, undo caliper frame from the body and mount the frame on the caliper mounting plate, with rotor securely in place, rotate rotor and check to see if it moves centrally in caliper frame..if so bolt caliper body back on.. remember to put in brake pads.
Install brake hose, bolt to caliper first, using copper washers and banjo bolt (supplied), run along caliper body, inside of stub axle, next to stub axle and upper ball joint bolt to original mounting position. Cable tie in place with some sort of protective cover (some rubber hose), to stub axle and to caliper body if neccessary.
Bleed brakes and whack on wheels!
Any questions, ask. Aidan
