Evan Hi Evan Thanks for your help in Halfords I left about 8ish...2 little 'bleeders' sheared off Chris took her out but was not happy to let me drive so he fought some more with the 2 rear inner bleeders, couldn't undo them so the brakes were still a bit spongey, I took it really easy on the way back..got home by 12.10am a bit different to 2 hours 15 minutes getting to the Z shed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyser Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 Not quite.... I cleaned up the Brembo's, come on Keyser put up the photographic evidence! Help a girl out OK Val, I'll help out As you can tell Val came by the ZedShed for some "action" She wasted no time getting down and dirty fair play she did a great job A quick pit stop Then onto the fitting The downside - Unfortunately all 4 bleed nipples in the rear callipers had seized solid so with a bit of careful drilling and with the aid of a stud remover we managed to replace both outside bleed nipples with the ones from the original front brakes. This did mean that we couldn't do a complete bleed leaving the pedal slightly spongy! I had no more nipples and even with the pedal as it was it was quite capable of locking the wheels just with a slightly longer press than it should have. Val promised to take it easy on the way home and is getting the last 2 nipples seen to and the brakes bled again on Monday. They did look good though I would have made her stay but it was getting late and the dogs had to be fed!! Great to see you again Val, Had a good day shame we didn't get it 100% finished. Bob has put one LOUD HU in that car See you again soon and don't forget to get the Zed booked in to finish the brakes!!!!!!! Keyser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
