What did you do with your Range Rover today

Doesn’t appear to be a grub screw in here so is the disc just caked on?

Carried on my mad cleaning spree.
Inside to do tomorrow.
So far
Washed.
All gone over with poor boys swirl remover then buffed off
Top polish and buffed off
All black trims dressed
Tyres dressed
Windows polished inside and out side.
That's about as clean as it will get

Got 5 wheel bolts holding it on should be fine Mark. Came off with a bit of welly, whomever put this together last had a real aversion to coppaslip

Took wheel liner off for no reason other than to have a perv at the turbo :D

Don't use copper grease around brake parts. You'll want a little mineral free grease (ceramic for example) to do the ears on the brake pads so they can slide in the caliper, otherwise you're just creating more problems for yourself. It is an old hat thing by people who didn't know any better.

Best thing to do is clean the **** out of the mating surfaces on the hub and if you're that way inclined a light dusting of paint to slow down corrosion. Don't use copper grease on alloys because it'll create galvanic corrosion, which is a bad day. And it should never be used on wheel nuts. The torque values are dry torque, you'll just over torque them which can lead to failure.

So yeah, all of the big brake making companies make a brake safe grease if you want to grease the pad ears. But just a thorough cleaning so the pads slide smoothly is more than enough. Then when servicing your bus, pop off the wheels and give the brakes a little love. It is all you need.

Thank dude. Idle hands and all that. Usually anything of mine just gets a quick hover and a jet wash off.
If someone had said to me when your 30 you'll be polishing something I'd have never believed them :D.
Wifes bmw i usually just pay one of my pals to do it for me

The copper can build up and lead to the disc to run out of true. Giving vibration and squeaking. A clean surface is more than enough. Unless your bus is routinely parked in the Thames overnight, other than a slight love tap with a hammer, they'll come off reet next brake change.
