Rear brakes now bigger problem

Thanks Martin will try later.
Was dissappointed with supplier. Dug out old invoice which had little sticker saying keep with number for replacement key but they couldn't tell me manufacturer think wolfrace so will give quick try later and go your route if that fails.
if successful want to be at bordon 4july are you still resting!!!!!

Yep, still "resting".

I have not been working on the Jimny at all. Yesterday was the first day off in two weeks as we have got some important work on at the moment, working days, nights and weekends. However with the weather yesterday just had to take a day off for the sanity of everyone so went boating on the Solent.

Work whould drop off in a couple of weeks so will be back to taking the Jimny apart again.

lucky you -something i miss -used to keep a 28 footer in the hamble but had to give up about 3 years ago .i developed balance probs following an ear infection

Thanks Martin wheel nuts now off new ones in the post.Surprised came off relatively easy and no passerbye enquired as to what I was doing!!!!!!!!!!!.Oh and Wolfrace came up with the same suggestion as you
Back to brake saga think i will strip down clean and lube and fit new spring set(I reckon poss dragging shoe).

I've just coaught up with this thread - but Machine Mart sell a set of sockets designed for the purpose of removing locking wheel nuts without the key!

Amazing I know as they could be used by anyone, but I suppose if tools like that exist, those who really want them will get them.

I don't find it that amzing unfortunately that no-one questioned what you were doing forcing off your locking wheel nuts though as society is not really like that now!

A friend of ours came off his mountain bike when he thought a car was going to hit him and he hit the curb. He broke his arm and did this in front of a queue of stationary traffic. It sounded quite impressive - bike over him and then him over the bike - so on and so forth - how many people got out or asked if he was OK - NONE!

I'm grateful that there a fair few people in the off roading fraternity that will lend a hand to anyone though.

Hi

Interesting footnote I ordered a new set nuts and had I been patient what a surprise they were the same key number !!!!!! at least I didnt damage the spare so now have 6.
Sadly your right on the other point ,it is a sad reflection of our times nobody cares about you.
Thanks for the assistance guys
