my test

[Steve W]

This is my first attempt at any mechanical work on my seven so take it easy on me cool.gif

After my last trackday I'm now in need of replacing the rear brake disks.

I have the removed the old disks but was wondering about the wheel bearings.

While I have everything off should I remove the bearings in there casing? Maybe give them a clean and repack with grease? Or is this a waste of time and does not need to be done.

 

Also I understand that you need a special tool to wind the pistons back into the callipers to fit the new pads. Is there another way of doing this? As I'm going to bleed the brakes to flush out the old brake

fluid I wondered if I could release the bleed nipple and push the calliper back? Would this work?
