Hey guys this may sound silly but ,Im changing disc and pads on my dads au 1 tonner tommorow.
And was just wondering if it was much different to a ef falcon because i heard they have sealed hubs?
Ive done a far bit of brake work in the past but just not on the front of an Au, so any helpful tips would be a great.

Cheers Craig

Yep, big difference. It's much easier to do the front of an AU as the disc does not contain the bearings - the AU bearings are in the hub, and the disc sits over the top of the hub. Rears are much the same as an EF/EL.

If its a series 1 its the same setup as an EF/EL and if its a Series 2 it has the sealed bearings and hub setup.

My AU1 has the sealed bearings and hub setup. Undo the wheel nuts, take off the wheel, undo the caliper and the disc comes off!
