Rear N/s disc oily...

davek0974 · Jul 7, 2010

Hi all

just working some of the kinks out of my new-to-me disco1 300tdi, i have oil on the rear n/s brake disc. Brake fluids ok so i'm guessing oil leak.

Is this seal an easy job ? I know i'll need new pads but what tools would it need.

Diff oil level is ok.

I stops fine even though its oily and had just got a new MOT before i got it, i'm guessing they steam-cleaned the crap off and snuck it through??

Thanks

Dave

If the brake fluid is ok and the diff oil level is ok where do you think the oil is comming from, clean the muck off first then decide the next step. Rave workshop manual link to help u decide if it's an easy job.

It'll be the hub oil seals. remove the brake caliper & disc etc. then remove the hub & bearings, then remove the stub axle and renew the inner seal, fit new gaskets when you put it all together, clean & regrease the bearings, fit a new oil seal in the hub and tighten up as per Mr Haynes manual. Best with one of those large box spanners (I think 52mm?? loads on ebay for about £5) Consider renewing your brake pads if they're down whilst you've got them off. Seals & gaskets for less then £10 a side.

Take the wheel off and check the Caliper exact same problem as mine. Piston has corroded and pulled the outer seal off. your's might have only moved a bit hence the fluid loss not been so noticable.

Ok, i'll get the wheel off as soon as, thanks

When I got the hub spanner from Paddocks I got a round plate welded on the top with a 13mil welded on-makes it easy to do the torque adjustments
