In the middle of fitting my wms brakes but the discs don't want to fit, the inner face of the disc is rubbing on the top of the hub?? Anyone had this problem?

Its like i need to space the disc out about 2mm but I've not heard of anyone spacing the wms discs before?

Thanks guys,

Allan

Where's rubbing exactly? Is the bore too small? (you might have a 54mm disc on a 55mm hub, possible...)

On 54mm hubs it's a straight 54mm, on 55mm hubs it's 54mm where the wheel locates then steps up to 55mm leaving a slight "lip".

Thanks for quick reply Kerri, they are the hubs that step from 54-55 for sure and your discs are measuring 55mm dead on so they seem good but the inside face of the braking surface seems to be rubbing right on the top of the actual hub, i have hammered the heat Sheild hard against the hub but its still as tho it needs a couple of mm? i will pm you a pic just now.

Sorry dude, had to go out! You're right about having to adjust the heat shield, a lot of people don't have them any more anyway as they rust away.

To bleed the calipers you just do the inner nipple then the outer one - they should be at the top obviously. Fire away if you have any more trouble!

M10 = 40Ftlb, M12 = 60FtLb, fittings = finger tight.

In most cases you'll need to trim the "lip" off the outside of the heat shield to clear the larger disc, then also you may need to tap the odd spot on the "inner" part of the shield to releave it a bit - as you say it can get close to the disc!

As long as the heat shield isnt rubbing (inc during cornering) then you're good to go from that point of view.

Not on the shelf, we've got a batch being machined and are taking deposits against them due to demand - they are nearly all gone before arriving yet again! Drop me a PM if you want to reserve one, I'm working through my PM's at the moment.
