    Do you need to take the carrier off to change the discs i was trying to do it today and could not get the disc out,
    the hanynes said you only have to take the calliper off which i did but it wasn't happening

    Thanks in advance

    you need to unbolt the caliper at the back of the stut take the hole caliper off undo the 2 bolts on the hub part of the disc and it might take a tapping

    Don't let it hang from the brakeline ether. It puts a bit of stain on the line thats all
