Nt700 Brake Disc

[Shepherd]

Hi all, just started to give my 'new to me' Deauville wheels a bit of a clean up, and saw this.

' alt=''>

I assume it's not ideal, and will replace as required, but anything else I should think of doing whilst the front wheel is off?

I have no experience with spannering a bike, very little with cars, but funds necessitate I give things a go myself.

Could also do with the smug feeling of satisfaction if it all goes well too.

( I have the car as back up )

That will need to be replaced.

Before removing front wheel check the bearings, spin - listen for roughness, pull rim side to side to check for play.

New disc will mean new pads so no point in checking them.

Seals in the calliper, worth thinkinng about eplacing them while fitting new disc and pads.

Appreciate the tips - many thanks

Before I order the parts for this first foray into bike repairs, it's a dual disc front wheel, but only one side with this problem.

Do I need to replace both at the same time?

The failed side has 3 or 4 of these cracks, all on the outer rim towards the first vent hole, but other side looks fine. It may have been a single replacement before, or a bad disc from the start?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

Check caliper pins ( sliding) and their location areas for excessive wear caused by the warp created by the split .

As said replace pads is a must !

I would replace both sides so that you have a set base mark for wear and tear otherwise you will be replacing pads at different rates due to disk thickness etc

Important to remember the thread lock for the disk's bolts.

If you're servicing the calipers is worth to replace the brake fluid.

Brake disc bolts can be a b@stard to get out. You should heat the bolts with a blow torch to break down the thread lock. If you don't you risk stripping the threads in the wheel. Use a good quality allen head socket to reduce the risk of rounding the head of the bolt.

Thanks for the tips, I'll get the parts ordered tomorrow.

£77 for each disk

Should I order new caliper pins? Not sure I'd know if the current ones are worn or not.

Don't think i can replace the fluid either, I'm told the Hondas have a dual system that is tricky to bleed? Maybe I'll try, but I'll probably bottle it!
