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

If the garage has damaged the disc fitting a track rod end its down to them to fix it.

Why use that to replace a TRE

[terry paget]

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

[terry paget]

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

[Agemo]

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.

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.
