Darkhorse, How did you get around the Torx bit issue, I've yet to fine a place who will sell me an individual extra long bit. Everybody seems to only sell them in sets at silly prices, when I only want the one

I ended up using a torx driver (screwdriver type) and mole grips, did the job but only just. I need to replace the rear disc again soon. Was going to do it last year but haven't gotten around to it yet. Good job I've not been using it so too much I guess. Still a bit of life in it yet.

I just used a standard Torx bit on an extension bar

Hello all,

I need to change my rear disk and brake pads,

Why are you changing the disc on an 09 plate??

 

[degsey]

Because the bike went in for a FD rebuild following failure and the mechanic said at the time of the next service, which will be the end of September it will need replaced, so I may as well do it
