Replacing front brake disc shields
I've got to replace the front shields on the Exxon Valdez (1997 940) as the old ones have more holes than metal.
Is the hub nut a 27mm or a 36mm one? I have seen both sizes quoted and want to make sure before starting the job that I have the correct socket. The process itself looks straightforward: jack up and support the front end; remove the road wheel; undo and secure the caliper; remove the disc and hub nut; apply heat/penetrating fluid/"industrial language"/cutting torch to the old backing plate; clean up the mounting and apply sticking plaster/soothing balm to injuries; fit new plate; re-install disc, hub nut, caliper and road wheel, tightening as you go; have another brew and biscuit/pastry of choice; attend minor injuries clinic. If anything is missing from the above please feel free to add it in.
