thanks for all advice, brakes are now ordered so i will post up next week how i get on with them.
is it as easy on any car to chnage the disk, pads and brake fluid?
anything i should know or is it pretty much the usual?
thanks again
rich
The disc retaining bolt can be a bastid, I have used a cold chisel before, order new ones to be sure.
you'll need new calliper bolts for the front as you need to remove these to change discs and there one use.
Make sure you have a big assed bar as they should be tight as. the nipples for bleeding the Brembo's are 11mm which is an unusual size.

i just used loctite instead of new calliper bolts, also there is a tool that can buy to remove the screws if cant getit out with a chizel, its a kind of impact driver kind of thing. are new bolts really necessary willie as ive changed brakes an past an sed loctite an been fine.
lol - i knew someone would read it like that - lol, amost changed it but thought no.. let me see who comments..
*bing*
you win
I hoped not as I just sent off a spare set to another member! Thanks for clearing that up...

halfords sell them but cost about 25 pound i think. but you may be able to get out with chizel like willie says, mine came out an with a chizel an were damaged so never put back in. the wheel nuts hold the disk in place anyway,
I've found the serrated washer teeth get crushed on torquing once so not willing to take the risk with such an integral part
I was talking caliper to carrier bolts.
loctite is used on the carrier to hub bolts
badgerwagen uses its original mounting bolts and several brake kits later they still are on their once torqued up and loctited in.
lol i am abit confused?
am i ok to re-use current bolts, washers screws etc
seems like i just need some loctite and i am away? what about the tool suggested? or if i can use a chisle is there a thread with any pics i can find to let me know what i am chisling?
cheers again

Rich, don't worry about the chisel. It's not an essential tool for this job.
Change bolts as Bill has suggested
