i recently fitted disc and pads to my scoob but wasnt sure the discs were right way round.

pic is of the o/s/f wheel

so swapped em over after a week ,and now they dont feel as responsive as they first did with the discs round the other way? any ideas??

scoobygez

how can they go on the wrong way??
thats beyond me??

i thought the grooves had to run in a certain direction ie in the direction of the wheel??

stockcar

most manufacturers have a recomended direction of fitment for the grooves...............guess you have EBC, sorry not 100% on this make..........

most of the discs we supply run 'backwards'..................

Yep, grooves should run in a certain direction and my EBC discs were marked N/S and O/S - weren't yours scoobykevuk?

This is how I fitted mine



Going by the directional rotation of the wheel, yours could be fitted on the wrong way. No big deal, just simple swap them around.

would agree that ozzy has his discs on correctly

Out of interest, which are the two bolts that need to be removed in order to get the disc off, is it the bolts on the actual caliper itself or the bolts that attach the caliper? I tried both yesterday, could I shift them, could I 'eck.

Hakon

The bolts that hold the caliper on need removing. Swing caliper out of the way and remove disc.
