drivers side front, really worn disc, this had to go but i had a problem, when i took the caliper off the pads were not too bad but i had replacements anyway.
had to drill the screw out as it would not turn and i dont have an impact driver.
stuck the hew disc on and the pads, then i tried to push the piston back.....
no chance it went back a bit enough to get the old pads back on but with the new disce it was a mile off.
so thats how it ended up on the drivers side front, i had the other 3 to do yet. not happy.
went to the other side and tried to get the caliper off, the bottom allen key was spot on.
the top one was an abortion, it was rounded and i had no way of getting it out so i tried this:
with this:
and ended up with this:
then i tried turning it and it just snapped off so i tried an allen key:
that bent as soon as i got some leverage on it and then snapped off again.
so i was stuck and i left it, stuck the wheel back on and gave up.
i did a few other bits, the seat needed a new plastic runner and the paacel shelf needed fixing, but im worried about that bolt.
i am going to refurb the calipers as well as some of the rubbers are shot and i dont need the brakes to fail!
i need some help with finding out where i would get a set of seals for the calipers and any advice on that bolt is very welcomed.
