Thread: Puma - parts required for front brake rotor replacement

Always pays to have all the spares required on hand, and you've got it pretty much covered,

You will definitely need new drive flange gaskets, (though some make do with RTV), locknuts and drive flange bolts. You can re-use the bolts, but they do have a habit of shearing off at times, especially if the flange hasn't been removed in awhile and there's been over use of loctite. I always replace all the bolts.

If your bearings are in good nick, then just remove clean and repack.
The inner seals are good to have, especially if you damage the old ones whilst removing the hub assembly.

I usually reuse the bolts that hold the rotor to the hub.

One thing you may need is a couple of circlips for the axles, they have a habit of pinging off never to be seen again.
You may also need some one shot grease for the swivels,when you remove the brake pipe bracket that's held in place by the top swivel pin, you support the swivel with a jack, it's not uncommon to lose some grease through the swivel seal.

As Ian has mentioned
The brake line fitting bolted to the swivel is a hassle
The first time you remove it is the time to slit the bracket so you can just loosen the swivel bolts next time and slide the bracket out.

Just wondering,
Do you make the slot on the swivel pin side?
Or on the brake line side. Thanks
