New Front Discs
mike142sl:
Thanks for that guys, all makes sense now and it would appear that I've been using 12pt sockets all these years thinking they were standard.
:roll:
Still need to see if full lock can give me access.

OK, all your help and advice has done the job, so it's BIG thanks all around. I have sucessfully changed the discs today - it was incredibly easy when you know how and took just over an hour.
It helped to jack both wheels up so that I could turn the wheel to full lock. Still a bit tight but enough room to get the breaker bar in to loosen the bolts.
The old discs looked like this
So you can see why I was keen to get them changed. Brakes like is should do now, without any fading. Suprising it braked at all really :-o

I've just got a new set of discs and pads for my Disco, I was gonna attempt to change them out side the house but I reckon I'll just do them at work on Monday, It'll be much easier to work with the wheels at head height and the air tools.....
