Front brakes

I got mine from the dealer. Not cheap though!

Why take a chance of damaging the rad and struggling when you can have the rad out in 10 mins??

10 minutes taking off radiator, 10 minutes re-fitting, 20 minutes re-filling and bleeding, old coolant to dispose of and £10 worth of new antifreeze.

Alternatively it takes about 20 minutes to change the belts with the radiator still in place.

Thanks. I already bought new antifreeze though so I'll be draining anyway. What's with the tensioner bearing, should I replace that when I change the belts?

I haven't tried lifting a piston seal to look for corrosion underneath, and didn't know pumping the brake was required to get the piston out further. I'll try. However even if the 'bits that matter' are ok, I'm so fussy I just can't put it back without cleaning everything and greasing and painting!

Got one ready! Martin had some.

Replace the windscreen seal

If the tensioner spins nicely there's no need to change it. They tend to start screeching before they fail so you'll get some warning when it is on it's way out. But if you have a press or a decent vice it's pretty easy to change the bearing and they are a standard part from your local bearing suppliers.

Got what? The compensator or the bleed nipples?
