Just a few tips, I wouldn't use an engineering brick as used here as they have very sharp edges like razors and can cut the tyre, they also can shatter easily under pressure causing the car to move suddenly. If you are going to support the car metal to metal it's best to use a piece of dense wood between to help prevent jack or stand jumping out. Finally, the copper grease film is there to stop the alloy wheel 'welding' itself to the disc due to reaction of different types of metal. IE, Corrosion, sometimes even tyre fitters can't remove them when this happens, and it will often!

The discs do looked quite worn and lipped actually. In the long term it would be better to renew them and before you fit them spray the non friction bright parts with the ultra high temperature paint to prolong the finish. Use a cardboard template with a circular cut out to mask the friction surface. If you are really keen then you can paint the edges too. On your car with black wheels I would have actually stuck with matt black, but it is a matter of taste.
@CarThought

I wouldn’t call that a worn disc. All brake discs will have wear, that’s how they work. But I’ve worked on lots of cars with high mileage over the years, so maybe I’m used to seeing a lot worse. I don’t see the point of renewing parts that are working fine, especially when they’re £300 for 2. They’re painted from factory, so if you did fit a new pair, you wouldn’t need to re-paint them. The paint in the video is VHT. The factory colour is silver, not black.

@@CarThought because it is the same reason that you never paint or clear coat parts of a rim where the bolts go. You need to have metal on metal and not metal on paint. Even if you torque down your rim...the paint between the parts can cause the bond to loosen up.

How thick is your paint? The contact area between the back of the rim and the disc surface isn’t bonding anything mechanically or chemically. There are 5 bolts clamping the wheel onto the hub @130Nm. There isn’t any paint on the threads. The disc is sandwiched between the rim and hub.. it’s not a fastening. In the video you’re commenting on, you’ll notice the factory black wheel bolts are also powder coated all over.

Ah, it’s second hand information? If you could ask whoever has told you, that would save us some time 😄. I can see why they don’t paint the wheel mating surface due to heat cycles from the disc, and potentially cracking the paint from the back, thus ruining the visible wheel paint surface over time… But from a mechanical point of view it shouldn’t make any difference.

Thanks. Why did garages always want to replace things in pairs. I have one brake disc at drivers side front needing replaced. Two garages have said. We only charge in pairs, so two brake discs required, plus two sets of pads??? Same deal with the rear. Rear passenger side needs a new disc. The garage said, 'We can only do it on pairs, so you need 4 new disks and 4 sets of pads. Seriously?? It's a Jaguar XE, R-Sport, 2016 model. Love from Scotland, ❤ X.
@MegaRoss93
4 ай бұрын
I would be more concerned about why your brake discs and pads are wearing more on one side than the other! But it's always best to replace both sides at the same time to ensure even braking performance, you really don't want one side braking less than the other, this not only can cause your car to pull to one side when you brake, but also puts uneven stress on your suspension components and tyres. Another big reason is - Brake pads and discs almost always come in a pack for each axle (i.e two wheels) which is 4 brake pads, and 2 discs. If you went to an auto parts shop and asked for brake pads for one wheel they'd look at you like you were crazy.
