Hey Guys,
I just replaced my front shockers in my vp and decided to do the brake pads at the same time.
After spending 2 1/2 evenings trying to get the bastard ball joints to come loose and another 1 1/2 putting everything back together I was on my last bolt, specifically the bleed bolt on the drivers side, when the bastard decided to shear off on the last turn.
Now I'm left with half the bolt in the caliper and the other half in my hand, and silly me, i now need to bleed the goddamned brakes properly because I forgot to do it before (the bleed screw was out so i could push the piston back in) and they're virtually nonexistant now.
Anyway I was hoping some kind soul has a spare bleed bolt they are willing to give me, and maybe an even kinder soul has one of those drill bits you use to pull out sheared bolts with that they'll lend me?
If you live in Sydney I'm happy to share a 6 pack with you while i fix it...
Cheers,
Voney
