Brake pad kits?

[LeadFarmer]

Ive bought my new discs & pads which my mechanic is going to be fitting for me whilst my 300tdi 110 is in for other work. He's asked me to supply some extra bits and mentioned halfshaft gaskets, tabbing washers, pins, springs etc.

So what exactly do I need, and who sells the best kits?

Paddocks are a good starting point....

Thanks, I've already got the discs & pads, it's the extra bits I need such as pins, springs etc?

What are the 2 letters of your chassis number before the last 6 numbers?

Depending on them is to which washers and hub nuts it is. I'm guessing it's the 2 hub nuts with the bendy over lock ring though

1 x pad retainer pin kit
2 x flange gasket
2 x lock washer
4 x lock nut if you don't want to re-use your old ones although there's no reason why you can't

They are the correct ones then.

You can also add 2 hub seals

your choice if ya want oem or not

FTC4785R | Hub seal

FTC4785G | Hub seal- OE Manufacturer

for the extra £1 on each I'd go OE.

Are you doing wheel bearings too while yer at it?

 

[LeadFarmer]

If it makes sense to do so then yes.

when were they last changed?

 

[LeadFarmer]

Good question.

I'm not sure, which probably means I should get them done.

No probs.

Here is what you would get if you bought a full wheel bearing kit from paddocks but FFS don't buy one cos it's britpart.

DA2381 | Hub Bearing Kit - Defender front or rear from LA

your flange bolts can be re-used with a bit of thread lock. The circlip can usually be re-used but you could buy a pair if yer worried. The lock nuts are usually fine to go again too. Your mechanic should have grease to hand so I wouldn't bother getting any. the rest is what you have listed up there ^^^

Yikes! I don't want Britpart anywhere near my brakes

Where's your sense of adventure?

 

[LeadFarmer]

It'd be more like Russian roulette

 

[LeadFarmer]

Everything ordered. Hope I got the quantities right for front & rear. Thanks for the advice ratty

That is correct for the fronts.

Are you doing the rears too?

 

[LeadFarmer]

That is correct for the fronts.

Are you doing the rears too?

Yes, do I need to double up on quantities (except for the bearings) or are they different part numbers?

Yes, do I need to double up on quantities (except for the bearings) or are they different part numbers?

If your doing discs and pads on the rear too then you will need a duplicate of what you have already ordered including bearings (each wheel has an inner and outer bearing so 2 bearings per corner).

Thanks ratty. Youve just made it onto my select special favourite list. Believe me, that's a hard list to get your name on. Congratulations.
