Right list of things to fix/replace before WOF is allowed

Steering Head Bearings
Front left Brake disc
Rear Brake Disc


Anyone have a in spec disc lying around they want to part with for little dollars?

Was going to read up in the Haynes Manual on how hard these bearing would be to replace then just get them from an Engineerin Shop and do that myself, $220 for the shop to do it parts and labour inclusive! (by the way Motohaus are good to deal with! the guy their suggested doing it myself!)

sO I will have to get them from that special "spot" oy joy!

edit: stopped in at treads on the way to uni and they couldnt help wrt to the bearings so definatly to the spot.....
they have rear discs for 200 which is what I can get them for off ebay, but fronts are going to be a bit more with 500 for one premium one or 5-600 for a pair of some other brand! but only need one!

Checked on Trademe? some cheap discs on there right now.
you are definately better off with honda bearings, you know what you're getting even if they cost a little more, just imo:yes:

Any links?

Bearing kits are $ 115 from the spot, and they have a front disc for 350 as well, just need to find a garage and a hand to help remove and replace the bearings

Oh crap, did you say you needed a front disc? I have a set of near new front discs you could have had for a box of dubbo's, they are no use to me...

Surely not even really good service is worth $330 more than DSS style service!
