Had the TRE done on the drivers side today.Just been out to check the work,took the wheel off.It looks like my numpty mechanic has,whacked my 4 month old disc with his hammer.On the top and slightly on the side,of the inner edge.If that makes any sence,so i suppose i will have to replace it. >:( >:( Dean

Why use that to replace a TRE ??? ???

He probably used a fork joint splitter. They wreck gaiters, but if you are fitting a new track who cares?

You are quite right mate,he did use a fork joint splitter.Just phoned him he said sorry,the fork slipped and he whacked the disk.What can i do,a new disk is probably what i payed him.And he hasn't offered to buy a new one,what problems will it cause me if i don't change it straight away.Any advise greatly apreciated.Dean

was he doing the job for free as a favour? if so then i'd eat it and replace the disc. if you were paying him labour he should pay for it
imo

Webby i payed him to do the job,and he has not offerd to replace it.I hope it will be ok for the next two weeks.As i am in the prosses of moveing to hartlepool,i asume it will just wear the pads down quicker >:( Dean

Unless the disc is cracked, or bruised on the area where the pads grip, it may not matter. You have not mentioned any juddering under braking. I have old discs that are quite rusty, but the car still stops all right.

Don`t let him do any more work on your motor then, seemples

I can't picture the damage, don't suppose you got a snapshot? You may find a quick rub with coarse emery will sort it. :y

The outer one on the hub stub axle?
Undo nut, whack ball joint on the top/endo of the thread. Pings straight off. No?
Inner one needs a splitter tool.
Ime anyway.

No not always ::) ;D ;D ;D Many large hammers ;D ;D

I always use a splitter on the outer track rod end. Hitting the screw with a hammer is all very well if you are dumping the track rod, but if not you will wreck the thread. Also the wishbone ball joint takes the blow when you hammer the screw, which does it no good.
