I have just finished doing the front discs and pads, whoever designed these things needs to be shot. What a crazy design, nearside came apart ok ish then the drivers side all 3 of the caliper mounting bolts were seized, got 2 out with a huge effort, the bottom one and most difficult to get to refused to budge, a neighbour lent me a compressor and air ratchet that just about got it moving after that i could get the longest breaker bar i have got and wound out it with lots wd40.
Been for a run to bed them in, got quite hot when i stopped for a look, they were smoking actaully so drove around to cool em off, i have one side slightly hotter than the other and slight pull to the left which i hope will go once i have put a few more miles on the them, pistons free in the bores of the calipers and the sliders slide well too so i don't suspect these. At least it was sunny today.
