Rear cliper ( caliper even ! ) leak

[stina]

That will make allow you to sleep better at night Stina knowing that they won't start leaking anytime soon. You should in theory get at least 10 years out of them before they need a new seal kit. By then the flexible hoses will likely need replacing anyway.

Don't suppose you took some photos of the procedure along with the replacements to post up?

Hi Ron . No , sorry , you suppose right ! I did think about pics , especially as at one point She looked rather sad and undignified with Her ass about 4ft in the air and Her drive shafts hanging out !
I Had my hired help ( Dad ) for a set amount of time . and the old Boy is a bit of a tehno phobe , and would wonder what the hell i'm messing about with a camera for when their's work to be done :shock: :shock:
I'm just happy we did it in about 5 hours , She is totally ready to go . And the next pedestrain i moo down will at least see a gleaming set of calipers , new pads and hoses

I've done mine recently. I didn't need to remove the discs or driveshafts. Everything is accessible if you have a good socket set, the most difficult part is knocking back the locktabs on the pad retainers. As others have said, the sticky thread is invaluable, with the excellent set of photos.

Stina, you never cease to amaze me, I would still be swearing at the trolly jack!
