Brake pads
« on: 15 January 2007, 18:10:52 »

 :-[  :-[ I have to admit that despite the 'brake pads' warning appearing on my GID in about October, I finally found the time/effort/weather the change 'em this afternoon. There was about an 1/8th" of lining left!  :-[
And ...... in the rush to put em in before it went dark I've put the shimmed pad in on the outboard side of the calipers  :( If they squeal I'll sort it. If not .....  ;)

It will only take 10 mins per side to do properly, go on, make a proper job of it...

If we get a fair afternoon this week I might - I suppose I've already done the hard bit of cleaning them all up.
