Good job you're used to taking said roundabout sideways Paul!!!

It has been known to happen once or twice in the past

[Elite Pete]

Problem found... One of the metal brake pipes at the rear was rubbing on the hub and had worn through Proof that rushing a job has consequences

Pipe now replaced but going to be a right PITA to bleed as the reservoir had emptied... Have done a quick bleed and pedal is reasonable but as soon as the ABS kicks in there is a severe wobble... Going to need a lot of bleeding before I can use it properly but it does stop now

Has anyone managed to bleed the ABS pump without using a Tech 2 before?

Hows that happened, lucky no one was hurt

Had the caliper off last week and the pipe obviously didn't sit back in the right place... It's the only thing I can think of :-/ :-/

Was rushing a little though

Me too, as it happens. I'd better double check mine.

I must admit, I wondered why they used a rigid pipe there in the first place. :-/

OK, admittedly, the caliper doesn't move relative to the hub and the trailing arm because it's double-acting, but it's clearly going to have to be moved to service the brakes.

I guess the rigid tube saved a couple of quid over a flexible hose.

Easy to do and such a silly mistake but hey ho...

TBH, the metal pipe isn't even clipped anywhere, just sprung against a rubber spacer which is incredibly poor IMO
