Mk4 astra front caliper

[16v Nova Kev]

Hi does the mk4 astra caliper carrier come off.

[staggy_gsi]

Yes mate im sure it does

[Andy]

Indeed it does

[chrisd1986]

yup

[16v Nova Kev]

I could only find one bolt and it looked like part of the hub. But then again how would you get the disk off

[16v Nova Kev]

Awesome one of my caliper sliders is threaded so I had to superglue it in today

[conza123]

my 53 plate 1.6 sxi one the carrier was part of the hub so yes and no depending on model

[16v Nova Kev]

Hmmm mine is an 03

[conza123]

got any pics of it, and good sign to see if carrier is part of the hub is that the sping clip will be part of the pad iirc

[16v Nova Kev]

Aye the clip is part of the pad

[conza123]

then carrier is part of the hub to get disk off, take caliper off, undo screw that holds disk on and you should be able to wiggle the disk off.

MAKE SURE YOU DONT STRIP THE THREADS ON THE HUB AS EVERY ONE THAT IVE DONE IN THIS STYLE THE TREADS WHERE STRIPED

[16v Nova Kev]

One of the caliper slides is stripped that's what I need to fix

[conza123]

you have 3/4 options then

*find some sliders with slighty bigger thread and re tap hub to new slider
* same as above but just put bolt in there instead (what i did on one)
* if it goes all the way in just doent tighten just put **** loads of locktight on the thread
* new hub whic means new wheel bearing to

[16v Nova Kev]

Well I have a wheel bearing that's noisey what's the chances it's that one lol

[conza123]

it will be the opposite side cos thats life lol
