Got to make new brake line when refitting and get new anti rattle shims as pistons had been replaced wrong previously causing pads to wear tapered front to back, scary to think these have been working and passed 2 mot's
Ill take pics tomoro and post

Got all the bushes next day from JK and quality looks very good , bushes came today from BW .
I've had to pack in for the day , was like working under a waterfall . So now I'm cold , wet and pissed off. Ill see about stripping and re painting the N/a calliper , drop link and radius arm later today unless I hear those bottles of beer calling

Peeing it down here in the wet and miserable Midlands too. Decided I won't play with camper today and instead use my legs and go scour £ shops for ideas. Wheres my brolly.....

Beer sounds like a better idea

Well spent a very wet afternoon stripping the parts down and sorting the caliper out . Pistons on the O/S caliper did not want to come out . Managed to get one out using compressed air the other using a modified 2 leg puller. Cleaned the pistons and bores and all looks good.
Will be painting later this evening .
