Rear Brake Rotor

[ianran]

I am looking to change my rear brake rotor or disc if you prefer
Not looked as just recovering from a knee op, is this relatively straight forward? Can't find destructions online

Anyone know of a decent priced replacement? Brembo or similar preferably.

Am looking at a Galfer wavey rotor for about £115 for my 13 plate rear. a lot cheaper than the o/e (Brembo) one I think.

It may be cheaper than OEM; but Motorworks sell a Brembo rear disk for the LC for about £92; plus new bolts @ £1/pop

How easy a swap are these?

Cool, I'm assuming it's tighter than a tight thing on the screws! Always bust a Halfrauds torx bit on my front discs when swapping alloys and wire wheels!

They will have been tightened to 30nm (torque) but they also have thread locking compound.

Just warm them up a bit with a small blow torch or the wifes hair dryer is you dare!!! helps to release the stud lock
