Re: Rear brake woes
RSJ are nearer for me and do have a lot of trade customers, they also do Seeley tools. anyway, they don't do the pins and their ebay site only sells tools it seems, but worth a try as the shop's full of spares

Re: Rear brake woes
I hadn't realised that you were from the same neck of the woods as me. :lol: Oh yes, originally a staffordshire lad born n bred, (strong in the arm n thick in the head) but when they moved the boundaries in the sixties I woke up to find I lived in Wolves and still here for the moment. Anyway, done b...

Re: Rear brake woes
well I was thinking if I removed one of the caliper bolts, I could swing it enough to get mole grips on the pin and turn it, then replace bolt and do same other end.
So, is this one of those moments when I say, doesn't anybody do stainless pins ?
there could be a market eh.

Re: aerial base 01 hdi estate
