It is proper easy to do.

The pads are held in with a couple of pins, and once they are out - the discs literally comes off.

It took me about 25 mins a wheel.........

If you are local to me - I can help you do it if you like?

Have a look at this

https://www.scoobynet.com/wheels-tyr...rake-pads.html

When the pads are off remove the calliper by undoing the two nuts on the rear of the calliper. Gently remove and allow the calliper to hang free. The disc will just pull off, they may need a gentle tap but will soon free up. Clean the hub face to remove any debris allowing the disc to sit level on the hub. Just reverse the procedure to put it back together again. Good luck.

No, you have to "un adjust" the handbrake before removing the rear discs.

Best to download the relevent manual from https://www.scoobynet.com/technical-...w-updated.html

and see https://www.scoobynet.com/wheels-tyr...rake-disc.html for how you can mess up. EXTRACT FROM MANUAL AT BOTTOM OF PAGE.






Easy job once you have read the instructions. Good Luck.
