Discovery Brakes

by AndyC on Jun.25, 2008, under Discovery

Don’t you just hate it when you take chunks of car apart and discover you need a bit you haven’t got?

I’d planned to replace the brake pads on the Disco last week, and discovered the nearside rear disc was badly scored so ordered some discs as well.

When I pulled it all apart I discovered that the calliper was sticking and very uneven wear on the pads (the outer one was down to the metal, hence the scoring on the disc).  I’ve freed up the sticky guide pin, ordered another one, and am waiting for it to arrive so I can do it all over again.  At least this time around it’ll only be the one wheel to strip.
