You mean the knocking? I think the poor audio is the fan blowing against the mic causing lots of distortion

Yep they do look quite good, and from other reports it does improve the braking performace..
The old Disc was from further inspection is scoured quite deeply and it is dished quite badly.
To be fair they look quite good behind the wheel
Just make sure you have a 12mm and 19mm BI-Hex socket or a good quality spanner

You'd have had time to do both sides if you hadn't jacked off underneath.A nice big package appeared today..
Of course the weather was ****e but that wasn't going to stop me from fitting them!
Ripped the box apart!
Hmm shiny..
The new pads look very trick
Fitting was quite easy.
Jack off underneath
Old disc exposed, and it isn't in good nic..
Old pads out,
they weren't in bad nick but thy were wearing slightly unevenly so i'm on the right track in inside pad was worn atleast 40% and it has only around 6k on those Mintex pads.
Caliper off.
Old disc removed and hub cleaned up!
New disc and pads fitted, literally a 15min job!
And the view with the wheel on is quite cool
Oh and I did wipe my airbags over and coat them with some rubber protectant..
Just have to do the other side tomorra as it started to píss down after doing this side!!!

You had me double guessing myself with this. I was sat in the garden with a nice bowl of pasta (beautifully prepared by the wife) and a frosty one thinking "am I on crack?" Good news is it isn't the bearings, they are play free and turn freely. Bad news is there is so much corrosion on the caliper and carrier I can only assume they've rusted in place. I'll tear them down this afternoon and inspect further. Heres to hoping it isn't a new caliper job.Scrap that, of course I'm talking ballcocks!! Not sure what i was thinking
Got new discs and pads anyway, because the discs are visually ****ed, and it isn't worth the time or money to send them to be refaced.

Watched Bix sort his back brakes and discs from the comfort of my gravity chair. He is under VERY close supervision though.
This might be helpful I just found it, not seen it before

Out with the old..
One of the carrier bolts was being stubborn, nowt a clout with a heavy hammer couldn't fix
Whilst the carrier was off I noticed one of the sliders wasn't quite as loose as the others..
A nice coat of grease and it slid right back in
New disc and pads all done!!
Not too much mess made.
I immediately took her for a good drive and the brake pulsation and steering judder has completely gone, i'm well chuffed money well spent in this case!
She's transformed!
The old disc was also warped and in a right state.
