Hey Guys, Both nipples on the rear have snapped, resulting in air in the system, with very one sided braking, and ABS kicking in when it shouldnt. how easy are the fronts to remove and replace? or is it worth getting some 2nd hand calipers etc?

oh dear, not coming through to Ed anytime soon?   wonder if a trip up to see Chris may work if he can do it at his. as for the brembos... i presume that you dont have a set of wheels they will fit under to go with them!  judging my what Carl has just said it maybe the rears, not even looked since being at Carls. ________________________________________ Ex-Black 6 - Speed has never killed anyone, suddenly becoming stationary...

snapped nipples would not mean air in the system by itself as they break off in the closed position, there'd be air in there already or from other work done to the system.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

You can get the nipples out but it's not easy. Better off picking up a spare set. The seal is really easy to change on the rear.________________________________________ I'm Si btw Night Blue VW Golf GTD Bianca LBSC Rallye - Track/Road Slag Project Thread Sparkling Silver Mini Cooper D - Super Dooper  - (The other half's wheels) |
