How do you replace Daewoo matiz brake discs?

Answer 1

Requirements:

2 x discs & 1 set pads.

2x wheel bearings

1x hydrolic press

1x 32mm socket

1x power bar

13, 15, 17 & 18mm spanners.

1x pliers

firstly, jack up the car and remove the front wheel. Once this is done you will need to remove the brake caliper and the carrier. The carrier is bolted on from the inner side of the hub carrier. once these are removed the brake caliper and carrier will come free as one complete unit. Secure this to the coil spring with a cable tie to prevent damage to the brake hose. Now you will need to remove the hub, including the wheel bearing as the break discs are bolted onto the inner side of the hub. To do this remove the 32mm hub nut then gently push the C.V. joint spindle to ensure it's not seized into the hub.

Second, gently pry out the hub from the hub carrier. This can be achieved by using two flathead screwdrivers or small pry bars at either side and wiggle until hub becomes loose. If this does not happen you will have too forcefully push the hub out but this will damage the wheel bearing and thus require replacement before refitting into the hub carrier. To be honest I have never been able to remove the hub without ruining the bearing, although allegedly it is possible.

once the hub is free you can undo the four bolts holding the brake disc and fit the new one.

*****If you require removal of the hub carrier to replace the bearings*****

Remove the two mounting bolts attaching the carrier to the shock. Remove the split pin on the track rod end and remove the nut. Gently hammer the top of the ball joint to release from the hub carrier. Remove the securing bolt for the bottom ball joint and use screwdriver or pry bar to widen the gap and tap the ball joint out. Push c.v. joint out and the hub is free.
