Assembling the new discs

Rebuilding the rear braking system is pretty much a reversal of the strip down, but is a much more pleasing experience – because now you’re working with shiny new parts and materials, instead of dirty, worn and rusty components. It is important at every step to keep everything as clean as possible, thereby avoiding the introduction of mud, dirt or rust flakes into the hub or bearings. It is also important to avoid oil or grease contamination of the brake pads and to clean the surface of the new brake discs of any storage grease, or contamination caused during the build up.
