I just wondering if anyone knows if I can change them myself or if a press needs to be used. Can't seem to find anything online that gives a answer to this question so if you could help thanks

I'm not sure you can change them tbh, I remember when I put new discs on the rear but didn't get bearings silly I tried to get the bearings taken out, took them to a place that maintains HGV's, they used a 40 ton press & couldn't get them out eek

A press might not be need to put new ones in though, I only say this (after realising I hadn't been so clever buying discs from a local motor factors) as once I got new bearings to be fitted to the discs, the garage I took them to (the garage that failed to remove the old ones with their 20 ton press) said that they were that easy to do they could've done it with a vice

But the best way is to just get new discs from renault as they'll have new bearings pressed in already, ok it's a bit more money but much more cost effective in the long run
