HI ALL
JUST IN THE PROCESS OF DOING AND THOUGHT I WOULD POST DETAILS TO SAVE OTHERS TIME.
HOPE IT ALL MAKES SENCE.
REPLACING REAR PADS & SHOES ON MY RS2.
I FOUND THE REAR WHEEL BEARING TO HAVE PLAY SO REPLACED THIS AS WELL.
PARTS NEED
1/ REAR PADS
2/ REAR SHOES (PORSCHE 928 164x20mm MAY ALSO BE LISTED AS 180x26mm)
3/ WHEEL BEARING (82mmx37mm bore 43/45 SAME AS SOME A6'S FRONT)
4/ SPRINGS TO HOLD SHOES TO FACE OF HUB (I USED MERC SPRINGS COS £1.08 EACH! PORSCHE £6 EACH)
NOW ONCE CAR WAS JACKED UP AND SECURE WHEEL OFF.
REMOVE THE BOLT HOLDING THE DRIVESHAFT TO HUB.
REMOVE CALIPER, REAR DRUM & SPLASH GUARD, (LOOSEN HAND BRAKE CABLE UNDER THE CAR) STRIPPED SHOES OUT, WATCH FOR THE LITTLE PIN IN THE HANDBRAKE CABLE (SHOE END).
UNBOLT THE WHOLE ARM HOLDING THE HUB (4 BOLTS). THE BOTTOM BOLT HAS TWO WASHERS THAT ARE ADJUSTABLE FOR CAMBER(?) I GUESS, MARK WITH TIPPEX TO AVOID HAVING TO GET YOUR TRACKING DONE.
WITH THAT ALL REMOVED I WAS ABLE TO USE A SOCKET FROM MY 3/4 SET TO FIRST KNOCK THE HUB OUT AND THEN THE BEARING SHELL FROM THE HUB HOLDER. 4LB HAMMER!!
PART OF THE BEAR WILL STAY ON HUB, I USED A BOLSTER TO KNOCK OFF.
NOW CLEAN THE HUB UP.
NEW BEARING IN HAND (AND FACING THE RIGHT WAY BECAUSE ITS STEPPED 43/45MM) USE THE OLD BEARING HOUSING TO DRIVE IN HITTING CENTRALLY.
ONCE IN YOU NEED TO DRIVE THE HUB ON TO IT BUT YOU NEED TO LAY THE HUB DOWN (ON WOOD) AND DRIVE THE HUB HOLDER WITH THE BEARING IN ONTO THE HUB.
USE A BIG SOCKET AND TAP YOU DONT NEED THAT MUCH FORCE.
SO BEARING NOW FITTED BOLT EVERYTHING BACK UP.
TIGHTEN THE BOLT THAT HOLDS THE DRIVESHAFT TO THE HUB.
ITS WORTH STRIPPING THE BOTTOM ADJUSTER. THE SCREW WILL COME OUT, THE BRASS COG SHOULD MOVE IN THE HOLDER IT SITS IN....MINE WAS SOLID! (COPPER SLIP)
SO NOW JUST PUT EVERYTHING BACK TOGETHER.
IF YOU HAVE A ANGLE GRINDER, GRIND THE LIP OFF THE INSIDE OF THE DRUM THIS WILL MAKE IT EASIER TO FIT.
ADJUST THE HAND BRAKE CABLE UNDER THE CAR AND JOB DONE.
I'M ALSO REPLACING THE FLEXI BRAKE LINES AND PUTTING 'DOT5' BRAKE FLUID IN.
HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL TO SOMEONE.
THE ABOVE IS A GUIDE, AND IVE NOT COVERED EVERY DETAIL BUT USE SOME COMMON SENCE AND IT SHOULD ALL GO WELL. ALSO TAKE A PICTURE WITH YOUR PHONE BEFORE REMOVING THE SHOES AND SPRINGS FOR REFERENCE.
