Not many pics of this bit.
I ordered a box of bits ... they arived and I've cleaned up the brakes front and rear. new pads in and bled.
One thing I remember from my last 3TJ - why do they put that stupid thing on the master cylinder reservior ??? the clip with the nut and bolt that seizes solid .... I cut it off.

Found out the back disc is warped but then when I came to undoing the disc bolts one rounded out, still it's a good excuse to use the angle grinder. A few minutes with the grinder and a bit of whack and the disc is off the bolt stub got unscrewed with molegrips.

cleaned up the wheel and put the new sproket on. I was going to use some nice pro bolt sprocket nuts but I orderred the 600R ones and they're the wrong size. I had some new flange nuts which fitted so I used them and sent the others back. The chain tensioner nuts are the same as the sproket nuts and I had some new bolts the originals were bent.

So maybe now onto the frame.

But here's a little taster of what's to come

A guy in the garage complex was telling me how I could cut a small slot or use an impact driver (but the allen head was already rounding) I just said "nah mate, angle grinder" .... and had it done by the next day. A grinder is ok if you don't want to mark the disc or disc carrier
