Tools for the job

arollingstone · May 16, 2013

going to have a go at replacing the brake discs and pads this weekend, but I think i need me some tools.

Ordered a hub nut tool and bleeder kit at the same time, but other than that is there anything specific I need?

Also my old jack has just packed in, anyone recommend a good (cheap) jack?

any recommendations appreciated chaps

14mm bihex socket for disc to hub bolts ,1/2 bihex for caliper bolts ,external circlip pliers ,17mm single hex socket for drive member ,and top swivel pin bolts to move braket if leaving brake pipe connected (support under swivel with a bottle jack before loosening top bolts)hammer and chisel to remove refit tab washer,never hit hub when removing disc only hit disc
