Hi Guys, All back together and rear brakes bled again without a problem atall. The front though is another story: Even with the bleed nipple right out there is no flow what so ever. The brake pedal feels like the nipple is in and there is air in the system. If i take the pipe out of the caliper brak...

I do, but last night it was tempararily missplaced ... i suspect my other halfs insain "organising" skills

Thanks for the tips guys ill get on it today

Sounds good to me guys :) iv just made a start on the nearside front but have been called off on account of rain :( I was just about to take the grease cap off but it didnt want to move.

I think the drum is brushing on the backplate silghtly as this stays the same until the brakes start to bind making it difficul...

Is that just any antirust type paint?

Thanks kev, what is the point of the little catch on the spring then? Just to stop it of unwinding?

Thanks covKid will give it a go is this the stuff?

Going there today ... You havent done valentines day properly until youve dined her with some swedish meatballs

Thanks guys, the rear brakes are back together now i just need to sort out the adjuster as the handbrake comes up very high. Am i right in thinking if i pump the hand brake the adjuster will work automatically? Ill give it another good clean when i do that. The amount of gunk in there was scary! Wil...
