casuk Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 I'm needing my front discs/pads and a drop link replaced I was going to try it myself but as its breaks I think I'll get them done properly, is there anyone in the glasgow area that could give me a hand, for a fee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Lanc Posted February 19, 2020 Share Posted February 19, 2020 Good luck with the change-over, Discs & pads are easy enough but you'll need a longlish steel bar to help with the removal & refitting of the links, so get a bar before you start the job. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks stef really appreciate the offer, i ended up getting them done yesterday morning, I didn't want to wait wish I did now, Was a bit of a job as the sliding pins were stuck took him 20mins to get them loose and the piston wouldnt compress guy done a great job and also made me realise I wouldnt have been able to do it alone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stef123 Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Atleast you are sorted now. i once had a slider seized on a Lexus caliper carrier. Normally takes me a few mins and a bit of heat if required to get them going. This one was proper stubborn, gave it a good bit of heat and went to try twist it with a spanner, it took off out of the carrier like a rocket and just missed my mates face! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
casuk Posted February 23, 2020 Author Share Posted February 23, 2020 Offt, a bit closer than you want he just used oil and force, aye glad it's done minds at peace, then my seat belt alarm started going off even though I'm wearing it, think it's when I lean my weight forward it goes off pain in the **** tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
