Brake discs

[Vinpetrol]

Hi All

Can anyone tell me do the glanza v brake discs need the hub nut removed to replace them or do they slide over the centre of the hub without removing the nut

They should just slide off the hub mate, you'll need to unbolt the pad carriers from behind though.

Thanks Jay
We stripped it down as it has hit a kerb and has a damaged wishbone drop link and lower ball joint along with a cracked disc.
Is there a good parts supplier for these imported cars ?

Cheers

Most parts are the same as a UK spec starlet.

I mostly use eBay or camskill.

Wishbone would be best to just get a used one as there aren't many options for aftermarket. Rest of the bits are easy and cheap to get hold of.

Thankfully they sell lower arms again!

Cheaper than genuine Toyota ones by a good margin.

There are plenty of options for discs. I use a company called the Brake Depot, based in Chesterfield. They have aftermarket units and can even put custom grooves in genuine Toyota units for you.

Thanks for all the links, I should manage to get the parts now, I'm sure I will need more help yet though !
