Its almost MOT time once again and my baby needs a little work doing to her. Last year's MOT stated that the rear brake pads were worn so I thought that it was time to put a new pair on. So its time for a bit of TLC ie. remove said calliper and replace seals if needed. Its only 4 bolts how hard can it be,,,,,,,,,. BLOODY IMPOSSIBLE that's how hard! All but one bolt looked totally fine but the last one (the one closest to the rear wheel) looked for want of a better word, shabby
Time to perchace a new impact driver coz I didn't want to do any more damage. BANG, BANG, OUCH, BANG,
*******!!!
round and round we go, big nothing will fit in this allan bolt again. Time to cut a groove in what's left of the head so I can use a screw driver bit. BANG, BANG, OUCH, BANG, BO@@LOX. Got a big s shaped driver bit now,,,,hmmmm. A good friend of mine has a workshop with everything in it, so of I go and try and bribe him with a nice bottle of wine and a chat. He say's "we could weld an old allan key in the hole and heat will help move things along" BUZZ, BUZZ, SPARK, SPARK,
dink!
it just wont hold. Drill the head off then we can dismantle it and get a good grip on the thread (what's left of it). Not a snowballs chance in hell
. So I go to
