Hope you are keeping well and staying safe |
Hi Steve, yes strange the offside suffers more often - I'd have thought the nearside would get more road salt splashed up in winter.
Keeping well thanks as I hope you and yours are. Working this week as I'm a food packaging engineer.

It is an easy enough job Mark; once the wheel is off then undo two bolts and remove the brake caliper, undo the Torx bolt and remove the brake disc, unstake and undo the hub nut and with the hub off you can inspect and repair as required.
If you are doing both sides then swap the hub nuts over and you should find a fresh bit of rim to stake.
You will need a torque wrench that will go up to 210Nm for the hub nuts though. I bought one years ago on Ebay from a lorry fitter who had retired. Cheap enough but I did have to recalibrate it.
