I've never heard that about the bolts before?! I removed the discs and for the front I've been told it's easier to take the calipers off (Not an SV) and will be re-using them. As long as they're torqued up ok I don't see any problem. If anyone knows any different please let us know. Changing tyres would get even more expensive then.

I'm glad I tried it but I don't think I'll be doing it again. Aches, cuts, and dirt.

Front is going to Essential rubber!

Can't wait to get on the new tyres now and get them scrubbed in to see if all the fuss I made was worth it.
