Went to change me rear discs on the weekend, and I haven't got a socket big enough for the huugge bolt in the middle. What size is it? I'd guess either 29mm or 30mm but I don't really wanna guess cuz I need to get a socket that's the right size!
Also, I noticed in the haynes that is says this bolt should be replaced when you change the discs? Is this the usual haynes bullshit? Or is this right?
Any other things I should know about? All I got is discs & pads, and as far as I know, that's all I'm gonna need! No daft things that need replacing like that bolt or something?
Cheers guys |

30mm, reuse the old nut
as long as you've got bearings in the discs, you're sorted. |

dont forget to wind back the calipers as well, your new pads are of course thicker than the ones currently on the car |

Also, since I know you have an executive, it's highly likely that you have ABS, and those discs don't have the ABS reluctor rings on them so it won't work.  |

Nah I ain't got ABS Neal (thank god!)....well at least I know about the bearings now rather than getting half way through the job and finding out then! Has anyone got a pic of what discs with bearings in look like? lol, sorry! |

How much roughly should I be paying for the bearings then? Just been on GSF and they are £18 each. That seemed a bit steep to me!? |

Bloody hell, we still on with the bearings / discs debate here?
If your buying bearings they may not come with the circlip (mine didn't), you'll have to reuse them from your old discs. |

Why is everything so damn complicated on this car lol. Turboing my mate's prelude engine was probably easier than fitting my rear discs lol |
