Need4Speed Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I did the fronts a couple of years ago and now need new rear discs and pads, so I'm planning to do the UK conversion. Apart from a back-plate to remove are there any other issues. I have the part numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I hope not, I've just got my new rears from CJ today. I thought the back plate thing was only an issue with the fronts, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Need4Speed Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 Jake - dunno about the backplate... it was the only issue with the fronts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon F Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 I did the fronts a couple of years ago and now need new rear discs and pads, so I'm planning to do the UK conversion. Apart from a back-plate to remove are there any other issues. I have the part numbers. Hopefully just the one. Locating the handbrake shoes are 2 pins, springs and washers. These sometimes get damaged when you remove the rear disc assembly. They look cheap enough, so it may be worthwhile to have a couple of sets standing by. Cant think of anything else.

Matt Harwood Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 The backplates do need removing and sadly they're not held on with bolts like the fronts, they're riveted. So, you either need to drill them, or take a hammer to the rivets. I chose the hammer... It's more therapeutic As Gordon says, br carful with the rear brakes. It makes life far easier if you slacken the adjusters right off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
