    is it possible a worn wheel bearing could warp my front disc as my near side bearing was shot and after changing the discs and pads they warped after about 1k miles . Thanks

    i dont think so as i drove with a very noisey whel bearing for along time and never damaged the dics at all, but i have heard of it before...

    i warped 3 sets of discs within 2 months once untill i found out th sliders on the front calipers wer rather stiff, they had been sticking on, obviousl causing alot of heat so wrping the discs.

    Could be worth checking that

    basically just undo the caliper as if you were going to change the pads, and its the part with the rubber sleve over it to protect from the weather, cant go wrong from there tbh.

    just undo, take apart, grease and put back together.

    dont think there is a guide but its nothard to work out when your looking at it tbh.

    need anymore help just drop me a pm

    do the pads need to come out and are they the allen key bolts at the back? Thanks

    iirc they are allen key bolts yes, i ran Pug 266 calpers for a while you see so hard to remember.

    im not sure if the pads need to come out.
