Oh yeah, and helped Al sort his hand brake. Drums, shoes, no problem. What could possibly go wrong.
Ah, the cables buggered. Unluckily for me () the local factors had one in. £27 so we had that and fitted it. What a shite job that is!
Anyway it's done now. Curry earned.
Hmmm, a job I keep putty off. But at least it should be much easier on the Bullet, due to no heatshields.
The heatshields are the worst bit, because even when undone access is still poo, not helped by all the crud they collect
We went for the easy option of adjusting the cable at the lever end so that the handbrake starts to bit at 3 clicks and is on by 4 or 5. The wheel end was stripped, cleaned, greased and refitted along with new shoes and discs, so if any further tweaking is needed as the cables bed in, then there's plenty of scope at the hub
That's the theory anyways
Today has mostly been sleeping of a big tasty curry, followed by new front discs and pads. Had to drill both disc retaining bolts out
so much for the usual twenty minutes a side
still, MoT tomorrow so shall see what happens with that...
