Hi

I need to replace the rear disks on an early Discovery, other than the disks
themselves what other bits will I need.?

TIA
Jeff

You'd need a drive flange gasket and a tab washer each side. If
you're careful and don't let hub drop as you pull it of the
stub axle you will probably not damage the hub seal - some people
relace it as a matter of course, some don't. Mind you, Sod's Law
says the seal will stick to the stub axle shoulder and tear anyway ;-)

Thanks Richard, how much are the seals ?

Jeff


 
Just remember that you will need a old style socket to remove the
calipers and the disc from the hub. (ie not a hex drive and not those
jobbies that drive the flat side of a nut.) They are probably 12mm and
13mm or similar, at least I used metirc sockets but they could be
imperial.

try to make sure you get the nuts loose first time as I would image
you would battle once the nut starts getting shagged.

This is particularly true for the caliper bolts. Mess the heads of
these up before they are loose and you are in deep do-do! The socket
must be a good tight fit, even to the extent of having to be hammered
on. If the bolts are badly corroded this could mean a socket the next
size down. Have a look at the bolts before you start the job - you
might want to have replacements to hand.

Got a big box spanner - 52 mm A/F for the bearing nut?

I have a wry smile now.... do they actually have tools in Merseyside for
wheel removal? I've a vision that many Scousers have jobs on pit crews in F1
<tongue firmly in cheek>

Who's bringing the bricks?

TOOOOOOO right... my worest mechanical moment and expenditure was with a
snapped caliper bolt. I now have lots of tools I'll probably never use
again. Engineering drill bits, now drill, tap and die set (came in handy a
few times) Helicoil kit for a most odd size thread it is too.

Got progressively down to 10mm bi-hex on a caliper bolt once, that and an
impact driver got the barsteward!

given the price of seals and the amount of work involved, replacing it if
it's an original seems a good plan. Good point - I'll be doing that job on
our disco before long.

13mm 12-point. You need, IME, a short one for the rear calipers and a long
one for the front.

If you want a tight fit for them, you want a 1/2" AF 12-point.

Yeah, of course they have, they are all knock-off snap-on, super-silent in
use (no noise to wake the owners) wheels off and bricks under in just under
9.2 secs.! It would make Schumacher proud! but alas - i'm no scouser. Im a
jock....i only live down here 'onest officer. Oh thats your tongue in your
cheek?....i thought you were just happy to see me :)

kids a missus, 3 dogs and a cat. And yes, they all fit in the RR :)
no worries mate, if you were local we could have had it repaired in a few
hours

Very hot and muggy at the moment, with rumbles of thunder!!

I won't be attempting it for a couple of weeks yet; just getting prepared,
and sorting out what bits I need so I don't get caught out when I start (I
hope).

Jeff

Nope - can't get them to put fuel in, they instinctively syphon it
out...
