Title: Rear discs
Post by: Grantwyllie on April 20, 2018, 21:51:59: Hi there.
I'm looking to change the rear disc on my 2013 i30 tourer. I've changed the pads before and am just looking for any tips or things to watch out for when changing the discs.

Any help would be much appreciated

Aye cheers
I was going more for correct torque settings etc but I suppose that's a start.
I'm guessing the wheel should come off too
