Ive only got wed afternoon to do the job before i go away with the mrs for a long weekend, so i'll only have one shot at it and need to have everything at hand. cheers.

I'd replace wheel bearings, while it's stripped down .

Best of luck mrnice rather u than me
A BIG hammer also perhaps new disc mud shields, then there's easing oil and copper grease and brake fluid and the 12point socket for those disc retaining nuts.

Doing my rear discs and pads next week. If I have any swear words left in the big bucket I have ordered as part of the job I'll let you have them.

I'm replacing the hoses with braided ones whilst I've got everything out of the way.

a tip for you on the disc change...

once you got the hub off, bolt it back to the wheel then put the wheel down flat and work on the floor, this'll give you a good heavy anchor for undoing the bolts that hold the discs on, them bolts will be proper tight!

I scratched my head wondering how I could hold the hub to attack the bolts, then the answer was staring me right in the face!!
