Vandaag een rustig dagje en niet veel gedaan.
*** snip ***
No good deed goes by unpunished...
When I returned to the rear to install the rear brakes again, I turned the brake disc and immediately heard a noise that I did not like. Worn bearing!, so let's do the next job...
This would be the right opportunity to refer you to Tony's excellent M100 video restoration collection on Youtube. Tony is way more skilled and experienced then I am, and his video's are a wealth of information and first hand top tips, thanks for your hard work on the excellent video's man! :cheers:
The rear brakes are scarcely used and do not wear as hard as the fronts for obvious reasons. That is a good thing as after market discs are made from unobtanium and OEM LOTUS will cost you an arm and a leg, IF you can find any... That's why more and more M100 users are installing alternative brake and disc combinations all together.
However, besides some rust these here are practically new, so can perfectly be reused.
Pop the dust-cap off first.
Remove Split Pen
Remove Castle Nut
Removed Lugged Ring
Remove Outer bearing
Turn the dsic around and remove the seal
Remove inner bearing
Drift out the inner raceways (there is a groove on opposite sides to fit a drift)
Now that everything is out, get the most of the rust off (I did it the old fashioned way and used elbow grease)
After that: glean and de-grease! (I use brake cleaner)
Now on to the good stuff:
Use the old outer raceways to make a tool to press the new ones in. I made a cut in them and grinded 2 grooves on opposite sides so i am always sure to be possible to get it out again when (if) stuck... Make sure to camfer and polish sharp edges so you won't damage any surface using your custom M100 tool!
Make sure that the outer raceways stay where they are for the remaining life time of your Elan.
I used my bench press to press the new outer raceways into position.
Then the battery of my phone was depleted, but it is just basically follow the shop manual.
Grease the inner bearings with copious amounts of grease and put them where they belong.
Then reinstall the disc on the shaft, install the lugged ring and the castle nut.
re-torque as per shop manual (or use Tony's video) and admire your handy work.
I always replace symmetrical by the way, for everything that involves wear and tear. So what you do on the left side, you need to repeat on the right side as well!
Torque as per shop manual or use Tony's video and lock the castle nut again.
This took me half a day 
Leuke update weer!
