Todays jobs, apart from dodging the showers was to start stripping the front brakes.
I was aware the discs were past their best as they have been stood for about 12 months in the elements , so first job remove rusty caliper and brake pads (with only a few thousand miles left on them)....
Then try and remove disc - retaining screw was very tight - infact after a few "choice" words it just decided to round off in protest !!!
So do I drill out and then try and get the threads out or do I break the MIG welder out - I think you know the answer to this...
After a buzz with the welder, the offending screw finally gave up its none moving state and screwed out without hassle.....
Next job was to beat the disc off - it was rusted to the flange so a few swift hammer blows - lots of rust flakes and it was off ...
I then removed the damper and noticed behind the scuttle panel that there was sufficient gunge and decaying matter to grow a healthy crop of King Edwards....
A job to be tackled in due course.
