just a qwik update, goodridge hoses came today, ive done the n/s front and have started on the back now i have a problem, trying to get the spare wheel out ive dropped the cradle and the wheel just hangs there and is stuck any ideas? i have to remove the wheel because i cant get on the top unions.
Bloody thing is hanging there loosely with some weird metal plate on the inside of the wheel covering the central hole.
Cheers Graham. |

Same result new hoses didnt work, now the brakes were fine till i fitted a recon n/s/r caliper from gsf, from that day on the n/s/r brake has been awful to bleed and has led me to believe other things were at fault because it couldnt be a faulty new caliper could it..
Has anyone else had a duffer from gsf? |

I'mn still waiting on my calipers from stromba, my hatch has been dead with no brakes for about a month or something!
if they were fine before the caliper then the caliper is the issue this time. |
