Just been and fetched them from work. The fronts weight a frigging tone!

Rears

They look good when they are unwrapped lol

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







I forgot what a f**king pain it is trying to get the retaining clip back onto the front of the callipers!!!

Just need a few hours to fit the rears now

hook one end in then grab the other end with pliers and strain till you burst a blood vessel

That's what I ended up doing. I remember now why when I painted the callipers the other year, I only removed one side, and painted around the other

What size are the fronts Matt 312? They do look good, are you painting them before fitment?

 

[Sjdickso]

I just use my fingers to hook that clip in now. Got it down to a fine art as I change pads all the time in work

mine were a nightmare they were brand new springs and on a fresh painted caliper that was still soft would've been easy if it was just a s**tty unpainted one but trying to fit without damaging the paint was the problem

Just spent an hour trying to get the rear disc off the hub

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
