Is there any where on the net to find out minimum thicknesses , i know its stamped on the hub of the disc but its too rusty .

They look ok to me , except the edges which look frighteningly corroded - but this isnt the bit that does the work after all

these are pagid rears for a mondeo ( well im assuming theyre oem )

billythekid

20mm comes to mind??? (probably miles out!)

dpb

I need the year, the model (saloon or estate), & engine size & bhp

Mart

what would scooby do

Surely if it is a mondeo the discs are £1.50 to replace so just do it if in any doubt!

Dedrater

Seems to be the same across the entire range...

billythekid

So I was half right, 22mm but its for the front!

10mm for the rears....

Usually quoted in the car's servicing schedule I think.

Cheers for the info

its diesel mondeo estate 04 , looks like i should get away with it then


- ford wanted to replace them 3 YEARS ago !



So its a walk to the polling station

Dedrater

Yep, same as 2.0 model, for the year..

Dedrater

Actually, any rear disk off any model in the era, are all the same and they would cost me £26 for the pair, but, you have another 5000 - 10000 miles or so on yours.

Have a look around the outer edge for this....



When the face of the disc wears to meet the ground out indicator, they need replacing.

If they look badly corroded, then pop the wheel off and grind off the corroded edge. The fronts are easy by just jacking both wheels off the ground and putting it in first, then as the wheels turn use a strong, big screwdriver like a carpenters lathe chisel, finishing it off with a wire brush. As the rears won't turn you'll just have to plod away with the wire brush.

i think i may do this - they certainly look a right state


But the car went thro MOT no trouble at all -he said should need replacing in another 10 months or so , after condeming them a few months back !

For the sake of what 40 quid I wouldnt mess about, get them changed, having seen one shear when my cousins old Vauxhall Magnum wore the fronts thin because he couldnt afford to change them I would just get them changed, funnily enough disks seem cheaper nowadays.

I must admit, if they're only months away from needing a change and you're contemplating taking the wheel off for a fettle, you may as well pop them off and treat it to new ones for the sake of one more grub screw and the two calliper bolts.

dpb

Yes i wil end of summer i reckon ,once iv got my mind round it / tools for the job

corradoboy

Tools

Jack, wheelbrace, hex/allen key (calliper bolts) and a large cross-head screwdriver (grub nut). Maybe a hammer to crack it loose if it's corroded itself on a bit. You might need a calliper rewind tool too, often needed for rears.
