Do these work?
« on: 02 August 2008, 16:02 »
Got to swap the rear discs and pads soon, so was wondering if anyone has used one of these windback things before? Can't figure out how they work from looking at the picture.

That's just a normal spanner? Interesting.

Don't have anything like that unfortunately. Looks like the cheap ebay gadget then.

Grrrr, wish I hadn't bought it before that reply, tried it today and it just isn't big enough. Plus it would have been awkard to use even if it did fit. Looks like I'm going to have to spend more money.

Don't buy one of these!

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
