What have you been up to this week

[Dano]

cool will do , mind if ask what the machiming cost , to do the ford set up 18 yrs ago  i think it cost me around the 350 mark, but shoot 18 YRS AGO AHHHH ) where did that go 

[Marky]

Also searched the wreckers today...n found Hilux bearing caps that fit..new disc set up


-Machining  Each Disc for bearings n refacing disc......out here in rural mullumbimby....$175..all up

-Caliper Overhaul...including new brake lines  $280


My new calipers are sticking? any ideas lads??

[waikatostocky]

Hay Marky.

If the pistons or the sleave have got even a smitchent of rust or anything on them they wont slide that grate mate.

They got to be both smooth as a baby B@@ fo them to work 100%

[Marky]

Pistons are new..as is whole caliper...

they are also at full extension....?

[waikatostocky]

New brake pads as well mate

[waikatostocky]

The only other thing it could be is wrong brake lines maybe?

Just gussing though

 

[matty]

just a thought does the thicknees of the disc match the caliber.

if you cant sought it out I would be more then happy to come have a look cant promise anything but i just stared worrking at
brake and clutch work shop in burleigh heads on the gold coast I'm only casual working on wednesday and thursday so I have a
bit of spare time at the moment. just give us a shout on 0416 034 915 or PM me.    Cheers

If your discs have been machined incorrectly for the new bearings the disk may be sitting too far in or out. There is not much tolerance when you have new discs and pads.

Either that or the spacer width for the caliper mounts is incorrect.

I'd suggest measuring everything again.

[Marky]

All sorted...thanks..

New pads....were it..thought my old ones wouls work..coz i only just replaced em

Had to work the pistions a bit...but alls well....n i can stop now.....

literally..tools down...off to thailand 4 a month...see you Bugas in 4 weeks

Just because i'm bloody excited, tomorrow I'm headin up to Mt Buller thanks to Ben letting me know they have $20 lift passes this weekend.  I'm snowboarding for the first time so if anyone is in my way look out.  I have a feeling i'm going to be real sore tomorrow night after falling over a million times.  Beware Ben I have a feeling i'm going to take people down with me!
