Advice needed: loose brake rotors

[slob]

IVE REPRESSED ROTOR RIVETS B4 AND HAD NO PROBS , EVEN TESTED THEM NUMEROUS TIMES FROM 300 TO 0 , AND THEY HAD MOVEMENT SIDE TO SIDE AND BACK AND FORTH B4 I PRESSED THEM

How much did it cost to re-press them?

Whoops,obviously the newer 320 will have the bigger bore to suit the bigger wheel bearings,not the other way as i posted above.

These should get you started

cheers

DID IT AT WORK MYSELF WITH A 10 TON PRESS, BE CAREFULL DO EACH RIVET A LITTLE AT A TIME, IF YOU DONT HAVE A 10 TON PRESS GET NC30CHICK SOME HEELS AND GET HER TO GENTLY STAND ON EACH RIVET , MAKE SURE SHE HASNT HAD TOO MANY PIES THE DAY SHE DOES IT.
SERIOUSLY LITTLE AT A TIME FOR EACH RIVET

What part of "excess" did you not understand?... Typing in caps is one thing,compressing the retainers on a semi floating disc rotor (with alloy carrier and belville washers) in an attempt to disguise wear is another,suggesting it to someone else who may or may not know better is beyond belief.... Slob,i will lend you a set of good 10 button 320mm rotors until you find replacements if you want,please do not even consider compressing the retainers if you think there is excess wear.

BEEN THERE ,DONE IT A FEW TIMES NOW NO PROBLEMS , DID IT TO REALLY LOOSE DISCS AND RACED ON THEM , AND DID 2 UP STOPPIES ON THEM AND THRASHED AROUND ON THEM FOR ANOTHER 25,000 KM , WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU TO CRITISIZE WHAT I DO , I ONLY GAVE ADVICE AFTER PRACTISING ON MY OWN BIKE, SO LEND HIM SOME ROTORS AND SHUT THE FUCK UP

Gotta love these impromptu verbal punchups !

Cheers for the offer TLDV8 - I think I'll be getting the ones from the Trademe auction as it looks like they'll fit (would have been much easier if SunStar stamped the bloody part numbers on their rotor carriers though). They're in pretty good shape too.

Cheers for the advice Winja, but I couldn't think of a polite way to ask NC30Chick to stomp on my rivets with her stilletos!

Hydraulic press or a kick press? FWIW, I can't see any objection to this IF DONE JUDICIOUSLY. Which I suspect Mr WINJA did. I would have thought it might not have lasted very long, because the wear would not be uniform, but results would seem to indicate otherwise. An extra 25000 km is not to be sneezed at.

Hmm noone has asked if they are actually meant to be that way. Are you sure it has not had fully floating disks added? I have worked on a lot of Jap imports that have had floating disks added. They clunk like a bitch but provide great feel and better brakeing power due to the disk being perfectly aligned in the pads.
Send me your old disks if you dont want them. I will pay the freight. (i use the disks to make trendy photo frames and biff the carriers.)

Your overreaction confirms guilt or perhaps you are use to getting your own way on KB,it may work with the newbies but i am to old and ugly to go for your legend in your own mind act.
The looseness is from wear,what backyard mechanic's like yourself fail to see is the retainer is supposed to have a running clearance from new which increases with use..I feel sorry for the next person who ends up with something you have butchered to save a few dollars.
