Rear disc brakes....

For those that still run the older PBR type rear calipre the piston can be wound back in by lining the inside of a slightly oversize socket with a piece of emery and cranking away.

when I did my fronts I learned my unused spring compressors where not a waste of money!! Pushed those suckers back with no effort ;)

Mr. Fawlty , I dips me lid , not for the brake issue , but for the fact that you can still cut a dovetail join by hand , tis a dying art not even taught any more and if asked of most cabinet makers /joiners today a "blank look" followed by "what's a dove tail" follows , can say that I have not done a dove tail join or even been asked since sometime in 1975.

Well when I first started work at Balmain Power Station (Strewth I must be getting on I also worked at Bunnerong Power station and it was still used) way back when it was still in use I learnt a lot of what I know today, those were the days when as a yung (spelling) cadet I was sposed to use my initiative to resolve problems. We had an elderly mentor who was versed in the ways of old and we had to make our own testing instruments and of course the "mentor" considered that the job was not complete until you had made a "presentation" box for the assigned project. Hence many hours spent in the carpenters shop learning how to make boxes with dovetail corners, pattern making etc....I still have my wooden engineers tool chest made out of, wait for it HUON PINE, lovingly crafted by my own hand....
I think there is something sensual and indeed spiritual working by hand. I would have used a router and guide but Bunnings no longer sell the Dovetail jigs so I had no choice but to hone my skills and do the job by hand.
