Seals wern't in bad condition and think there may have been a slight leak so problem traced.
Having the right tool for the job makes it a lot easier. In this case a special clamp to hold the piston in place to allow you to press the other one out. Also thanks to a handy attachment it can also be used to press in the dust seal.
Finished !
Plan :-
Caliper off, pistions out, new seals, new dust seals with retianers, new bleeders, coat of paint, change disk and re-assemble.
Simple ! . . . . . . . . Or is it to change the disc you have to take the wheel bearing and the hub off the stub axel.

Finished !New drilled and groove discs to help with the heat and glazing. New ceramic EDC GreenStuff fast pads. New Braided hoses. Very sexy, even if I do say so myself.
Hopefully these will help stop quicker and also slow the heat build up from the million speed bumps at the Ranches.

Next . . . . . . Not sure but I see electrics in my future, not my favourite fix but a ongoing issue with any old British car.
Welcome to the blogosphere..... I foresee a future entry on how to scap a useless lump of British junk ;0)
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to learning all about Joseph Lucas: Prince of Darkness.
ReplyDeleteit it has been subjected to lots of speed bumps in its live and likely to continue the suspension bushes will likely need renewing. Poly-urethene performance bushes will improve the handling and offer good longevity.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kyle.
ReplyDeletePrevious owner already fitted poly bushes so in good condition.
Think next job will be hoses, current one are very old and perised so new silicone one due. Whislt drained I might also do thermostat and temperature sensor.
