Now have to source discs and pads and repair the spring clip.Have seen a genuine set of pads for £59 with fitting kit but seems pricey too me

Those bolts took some getting out with a hammer but the discs were on pretty well but penetrating fluid overnight and a good whack in the morning and they came off straight away.

Ah got ya! Shame I already removed the old discs so I hope I don't have a problem.Perhaps the guide needs to be updated with this information. Do you happen to know the torque or should I look elsewhere? Thanks

Is that grease up by the handbrake handle end is there a guide on that do you know and if I can get to it which I think is unlikely as I don't have a pit

Do you mean fit the disc then bolt on the caliper then install pads?

I've been meaning to do the service the rear brakes and with the fine weather and this lockdown decided now was the time to give it my first ever go.It's been a challenge but I'm getting there slowly from struggling to get the discs off etc so could do with a little help and advice of course.First up the caliper bolts were held in with blue coloured threadlock I have some red here somewhere would that be suitable or only blue or nothing?The spring cross clip came off in 2 pieces and it's for the vented brakes if I can't get one could I nut and bolt it?Gm shoes are on it and they have worn about a third and appear to have bits of rust embedded in this surface clean and reuse or bin?Discs are rusted on the outside lip and there is a 1mm lip inside and out,clean this off or replace?Recommended Discs? Pads are likewise worn but still meaty but if I change discs then new pads too any recommended? Thanks in advance for any tips

The guy used that front and back on mine,I suppose one could soak them in wd40 or such like overnight see if they would free up
