ah right, lol, should have realised !
Brun You've got a bitch of a job there mate. If you go second hand ask if the bleed nipple comes out before you buy it, if you are replacing the caliper it's got to be bled somehow!
if they werent so damn expensive id buy a new one, they are like £75 !
do you have any decent ones Nick that you could sell me ?
gonna have a crack at it in the mornin, if it wont come off then ill have to find the cash for a new one
im now not sure if its leaking fluid, or if thats the WD40 i sprayed on the nipple before trying to undo it
If its sheared straight off without turning it shouldnt be leaking
Also if you whine the piston right in you can try bleeding it useing the hose, not the best method but it does work
i wouldnt bother with the stud extractors, id be suprised if you get it out
1 thing i never took into account when buying a williams is the need to have a stand buy car at the ready for when shit like that happens
good luck m8
im pretty sure that stuff on it isnt fluid, its WD40
but, it does need changing / fixing, i cant leave it like that
well, REALLY wish i hadnt started now
got a new caliper today, went to fit it, everything is rusted REALLY badly
the retaining end plates for the pads are rusted to the carrier in a big way, one of the outer small screws now has my T20 bit snapped inside it, and, the pads need changing aswell, which means the other side is gonna have to be done aswell
takin it the garage on Monday, let my local mechanic sort it, ive had enough !
lol..........least u didnt have to contend with 5 sided bolts holdin the carrier on mate....as swervins were yesterday......rite twat to get them out......
The guy at GSF was well puzzed with them mate. Suggested the only tool he knew of was one of those sockets with pins in so they grip any shape.
BRUN, £56 for re-conned units from GSF.
Oh and Jon I need to get you a replacement nut sometime for that caliper and a new 1/2" extension. Just gis a shout when dude. I can pick one up from MachineMart next w/e when I'm there.
