Replacing the front brake discs and pads on a Syncro

[Winchweight]

Hi, I was going to overhaul the pads and replace the discs on the front of our Syncro this week, but have just realised that the bearings are in the centre. As a result I may now have to delay for a few days. But having now read and watched loads of info on the web, I haven't found any Syncro specific info. Is there any difference between 2wd and 4wd?

Yes the disc comes away from the hub,have a look at the 2/4 wheel discs on "Brickwerks " site.

Ordered the discs from BW so spotted that thanks. I'm thinking more about removing and refitting processes.

Did mine about 4yrs ago & can't recall any drama. Seem to remember it was quite straightforward & completed both sides in a morning

Have a look at the " Wiki"

Cool thanks.

The biggest problem is pushing the piston in ( bits of wood and tyre levers )

Great thanks. I'll be using a G clamp and some ply wood.

I used to dream of having a g clamp!!

IME, depending on the state of the existing discs, a club-hammer and/or angle-grinder may be useful to get them off the hubs.

Ok, thank you. I have both.
