Sometimes, but then sometimes ah use Gunk or that Swarfega stuff... or if it's the discs then brake cleaner

gunk's more expensive than gold plated petrol.. and i''ve got brake cleaner for squirting about before and after..

well it came off.. in 3 pieces...

then all was going swimmingly cleaned, greased, hub back together and on.. fought with the circlip for 1/2 hour but on eventually then DISASTER...

go on guess what I did....

The Mad Hat Man · Sep 5, 2009

yu either put the disk on the wrong way or the drive shaft disappeared up the 'ole?

mjltigger · Sep 5, 2009

noooo... far worse.. I pulled too hard on the caliper trying to pop the pistons back in and split the brake pipe... any idea where I can get a replacement on a Sunday lol.. bugger

mjltigger · Sep 5, 2009

by the way the metal pipe where it comes out the bracket is where it's gone..

The Mad Hat Man · Sep 5, 2009

Grippa

yu will have to ask VERY nicely tho. He has a brake flaring kit

mjltigger · Sep 5, 2009

niot all that sure what that means I presumed I would remove the broken bit of pipe and replace it.. is it not that simple then???

And is grippa within waslking distance of me cos I'm a little short on driveable cars right now lol

The Mad Hat Man · Sep 5, 2009

yup
replace it.

walking - yu will be lucky? Have yu tried PMing the SLUTS - i wud be surprised if Ratty dont have a brake pipe making kit.

mjltigger · Sep 5, 2009

The Mad Hat Man · Sep 5, 2009

Laser Flaring Tool Kit 10 Piece from Halfords Price £36.99

halfrauds take the biscuit..

bet their brake pipe's £20 a throw as well.. might see if I can manage without the car for another week and order from fleabay...

those laser kits are pants - if you cant stretch to a pucker flaring kit (100s) take the old pipe to you little local parts man and he'll do them for a couple of quid - they'll all have perfect flares

those cheap flare kits are much more trouble than they are worth

no doubt someone will be along shortly to claim they have been using theirs for years and have never had a problem - but you wont find a cheapo flaring tool in a pucker garage or workshop

mjltigger · Sep 5, 2009

cheers for the advice Sean.. tell you what next time I see you I'll have your old cheap one off you.. I might have more luck with it than you had..

Local parts man??? I wish.. we have a halfords and a boy racer bling shop that I've never seen open in Trowbridge..
