Thread: Rear Disc Brakes - 94 Defender

If you're doing the rotors, then you'll have the bearings out, so better to repack them, and probably replace the seals at the same time, check this out for the one page instructions -

EDIT Sorry, halfway there. You'll need gasketty stuff for the drive flange, new split pins for the pins in the brake caliper, cleaning things for grease and brake cleaner, umm, umm, umm.

If you pull off the end caps of the drive flange it should give you a good idea of how much needs to be done - if it's all dry and muddy you might need to replace bearings as well.

Just learned this one last week - To grease the bearings, get a walnut sized ball of grease in your palm, hold the bearing with your fingers hooked through the middle, and drag the edge of the bearing through the grease. Keep doing it in one spot on the bearing until grease starts coming out the other/top side of the bearing, then turn it a bit and drag across your palm again. This way you can see that the entire bearing race is filled with grease.

If solid disc's from a '96 disco fit I have a good set you can have for a good price eg Free. Pat

You're going to tackle the rear brakes ????

I thought you were nervous of doing an oil change.

GGF !


I just need someone to watch me / help in case of major screw up / offer advice and I'll be OK. This goes with anything from an oil change to brain surgery.
