Hi guys n dolls,
I need help fitting my brakes.
I have the following for the brake assembly part -
sliders + bolts
Calipers (ate)
Pads
256mm discs (not grooved).
and some spring clips.
All items are supposed to have come from an Astra GTE 16v.
However I'm not too sure how it all goes together and think I may have a combination of 2 fifferent sets of brakes!
I fitted the sliders 1st to the hubs but couldnt get the disc in place.
Do you need to dismantle the entire brake system to change the discs? eg unbolt the sliders? Seems like a hell of a faff!
Anyway - heres some pics -

Can someone tell me if I've assembled it right (obviously Haynes is no help here because theyre not nova brakes).
Also - how does the spring clip (providing its the right one) fit?
If anyone has some images of their brakes please post for reference.
There's also a series of codes on the calipers -
drivers (off) side -
CN978
KBA 60298
FN 52/24R
Passenger (near) side
CN977
KBA 60298
FN 52/24L
