Matt Just need the weather to sort itself out now. I've only got 4 days next week that I'm off work, and need to fit them on one of those days.
Matt Managed to catch a break in the weather, so have been able to get the fronts fitted (y) I forgot what a fucking pain it is trying to get the retaining clip back onto the front of the callipers!!! :mad: Just need a few hours to fit the rears now
evocarlos hook one end in then grab the other end with pliers and strain till you burst a blood vessel 🙂

Matt Sjdickso said: What size are the fronts Matt 312? They do look good, are you painting them before fitment? 321mm Si

Couldn't be helped 🙁

Matt Just spent an hour trying to get the rear disc off the hub :mad: Had to give up and put it back on, so I'm going to take it to my local garage who will fit them for me for £40 next Tuesday
