Fitting the brakes i got off smithy today, should have known it wasnt goingto go well..... forgot to loosen the wheel nuts before jacking and putting the car on the axels stands D'oh! so sorted that out,

 

Then couldnt undo the bottom bolt that holds the capiler on finallygot it un done, and was starting to get dark so got my mahussive torch out, working away changed the disc and though this is actually quite easy, changed the pads, just as easy, (yes undid the bleed nipple and removed the top off the brake fluid resivour...torch dies..bugger, well can kinda see from the car park lights i'll carry on..... caliper back on, nice and tight, wheel back on, still on the stands gave the wheel a spin and no rubbing or any noise what so ever, bonus.. clearing up to go back to work.. hold on these pads dont look the same.... :headvswal one new pad and one old pad in hand :xxx: :xxx: ... BOLL0X!! sonow have to take every thing off and swap the pads over.. in all fairness the the old pads dont look that old nor does the disc, so will prob keep em just in case.

***Update***

 

 

Well today saw a better light, corrected my earlier mis hap ;)

 

Then the passenger side, again caplier nuts were tight as a ducks A$$, but got it done, then on to the rears!!!!

 

well what can i say.. easy as fook, took less time to do both rears then it did to do the passenger side :dance: :dance:

 

so nice newshiney brakes and pads, big thanks to smithy another quality part supplied, well happy,

 

think that made me think though the fronts look quiet new and were a ******* to get undone, however the rears deff neededchangeing and were easy as pie, only thing i can think ok is who ever did the fronts used an impact wrench to do them up.

 

oh well jobs a good en
