3g Brake kit fitting guide

First things first as a tribute to Monkfish



Make a brew

Now jack up the car on the proper points and support the vehicle


Remove caliper and pad carrier


Remove disc


Admire the new disc


Now thoroughly clean with brake cleaner(posh cleaner courtesy of Kev)


You will notice the calipers come with the hose adapter already fitted. DO NOT try to tighten this further, it is a tapered thread and should be like that




Remove 3 torx screws holding on backplate



Time for another

Carefully cut and reamove back plate, SHARP!




Thoroughly clean stub axle, the discs are a snug fit and these do need to be clean



Fit new disc




Fit new bracket with loctite provided



Fit new pads to calipers, such a simple neat idea




Bolt caliper to bracket with loctite


As we only did a dry fit as the car is off the road you will need to fit the hoses and bleed the system. Bleed using both TOP bleed nipples

Refit wheel stand back and admire the beauty







A job well done!!

Try to take it easy for the first 200 miles to bed them in

do u know if the starlet has the same fittings as the corolla Dave?

Possibly

Any idea when kits bought after the group buy will be sent out Dave?

Anyone else fitted these had to fit spacers too? Why would the discs scrub on a 15" wheel?

has anyone got these with 15" rays te37 volks?

We are using Rays 15" gram lights with no problem

Some wheels will differ Hutch pending on the offset and spoke clearance, it looks like most are fine under 15's only a few may have to get spacers due to differently designed wheels...
