  1. iv jacked the car up and the wheels turn freely it was still makin a scrapin noise on the passanger side , there was like a thin disk behing the acutal break disk and a tinr bit was tuchin...iv bent the thin disk back so no more noise....the pads have abut a 1mm between them and the disk..happy happy joy joy
  2. the black diamond combi disks and preditor pads are now on my vr, but im now getting a scraping sound, in the haynes manual it said that new pads should be 14mm thik including back plate, i have sanded the top layer of the pads of but they remain about 18-20mm thik, so i think there scrapin the pads as im driving, will this cause any problems or will they ware down to the corect width them selvs, sould i file them down to the correct width?
  3. thanks for the advice, i'll let yous know if i manage to get them on
  4. would i have to replace the retaining screw...or would the wheel bolts hold it in place?
  5. i recently bought some black diamond combi disks for my vr iv had the callipers apart with the 2 bolts with the corogated ruber on them and removed the pads...are there any other parts i have to remove from the callipers before removing the disk...also the phillips head bolt that holds the disks on is stuck, im frightend that a screw driver would chew the end up....my mate said i could just drill the end of and remove the disk, is that a good idea? are there any other ways of removing the bolt...
