And believe it or not, a household radiator insert socket adaptor is the same size I found :-D - can get them at the local plumbers merchants see this topic earlier also for a ap brake discount code :-D http://www.clio197.net/forum/showthread.php?42042-Brembo-Front-Discs-Clio-197-Possible-bargain

Another tip... is to remove caliper, then importantly also remove the disc, replace the caliper, pop the spring plate out which then will give you full access to try and "spin" the pins to brake the hold using some moles, bit of lube etc... then they should be easier to punch out... save a pin...

Thanks all for the welcomes :-D - Cars now back on the road after some self work after failing the mot, new discs (brembo fronts, mtec drilled and slotted rears), pads and tyres all round - just needs the wheels doing at some point as shes back to her prime

Update... Arrived, fitted all good ... look the biz

Check the plastic around the spring hasn't popped out, as it creates a metal on metal clunk when the spring unloads - jack up pop the wheel off and reinsert if it has - easy fix if the case (had the same problem on mine) Bl**dy speed ups! :-D

I had a similar issue, found mine to be the plastic protection/damper around the suspension spring had popped out - I think its quite common on the clio, (probably due to the amount of speed bumps and not slowing down enough :-) Just jacked mine up popped the wheel off and relocated the plastic...

old site link, try the new one :-D http://www.mtecbrakes.com/brake-discs/renault/clio-2005/clio-renaultsport-197-2-0-16v06-06.html

No I don't believe so, mine on my 06 197 clio sports mk 111 are 300mm diameter, they are showing 240mm ?? I couldn't find any to suit on the ap site? struggled to find brembo rears at a fair price and have just fitted MTEC drilled and grooved on the back that were 135.00 delivered for the pair.

Hmm, this may be a good buy??? will try it and update when received http://www.apbrakediscs.co.uk/front-brembo-brake-discs-renault-clio-iii-2-0i-16v-sport-rs-06-on.html then on checkout use "iluvhoses" in the discount code box Just paid 60.59 delivered for a pair of front brembo discs for my...

Did mine last night :-D (always have a new set of pins ready by the way) mine were well stuck, tip! try as I did pop the spring/shield out of the way, then try using moles to spin the pins to to break the hold the caliper has, and yes then a bit of hammer with a good punch does the job :-D...
