Changing front discs and pads?

[weenie]

Ok ive done loads of searches and not found anything to actualy the answer my question!

To remove the discs of my Cupra R do I have to remove the large 30mm nut in the middle of the disc? Ive took the small screw out and removed the caliper, but the disc is still real tight??!!

Also do I have to seperate the breebo calibers in half to remove the pads? Which then means ill have to bleed the brakes?!!

Please help

nope ... just remove the screw in the disc, discs maybe be corroded so maybe stuck on, get a rubber like hammer and hit the dics all the way round it should come off, And brembos.... long like pins that go through the cailper and the pads, knock them out. and the pads should come straight out from the front.

Hope this helps

Buy a haynes for the Mk2 Ibiza, they're almost the same (and with respect to the brakes, they're identical)

Unless your discs come with them, i would get some disc retaining screws to go back on.they usually break or strip when you take them off,or you have to drill them out.buy new ones and put plenty of copper grease on them so they come out next time.

where can i get the disc retaining screws from? does it have to be a dealer or any car motor parts shop?
