Monty Python references aside;
Surely a visit from homeland security is imminent as I have more than enough
emails to and from Dave Kase WRT bombs.
But thanks to him and a 30 minute install, I have a new to me bomb that
suddenly has improved S car braking.  Nice!
Thanks Dave and the anonymous donor bomber too!
As it alwaze goes with these projects, I noticed that dang front pads needed
a changing.  Not to be defeated, I vice grippped, jiggled and jangled the
inner pad for two hours but the suckha just wouldn't come out.
What's the trick here folk's?  The passenger side is on tap tonight.  I know
the piston's should be pushed back but then how do you grip the pad?  d'oh!!
I finally gave up and removed the caliper which of course lead to more work
cleaning things up whilst the rotor was off.
As always, a 30 minute job became 3 hours:/
Rotor looked okay with < 1mm even wear.
What are the indicators of when a rotor is done?
