Well got my parts yesterday to do the wheel stud, and gaiter.

 

Took the wheel off the car. undid the caliper, slipped it off the disk, and noticed it was leaking at the pipe as it goes into the stud. yay another problem.

 

Hammered the crap out of the stud and the caliper dropped off ? lol

 

Replaced the stud, removed the offending brake pipe, went and got a new one, Replaced it. replaced the steering gaiter.

 

Thought i know, ill bleed the brakes now, did a search on how and what to do, followed it to the letter. even used JeffTT's advice and did the ABS thingy in the boot first. then the fronts, and then the rears. Still have very spongy pedal then it goes rock hard. but for the first few pushes i have no brakes.

 

Well car is already for the MOT Sept this brake bleeding problem I'm having. doesn't seem to be any air in the system yet its still all spongy. :( any other thing i should be looking at?

 

Please note, brakes where fine before the pipe snapped (drivers side from caliper to wheel mount bracket thingy) there are no leaks in the system and pedal does go hard after 2 brake pedal pushes.

Brakes bled omg does it stop good, in fact since i renewed the brake line and bled the brakes, its braking better than before :D one tiny bit of welding needed now due to clipping a speed hump wrong on the way to get the tires done (about2 inches long) and its MOT time :dance:

good luck with mot mate:clover:

good luck vodsssss :)
