Can I come and watch you do this? It should be one hell of a laugh

like i said i made a tool to compress mine but seeing as you cant get your bike road worthy i think it might be beyond your skill set. It looks like a tool or torture but worked,shock now fitted and working very well not revalved or anything I'm 12,1/2 stone

nice! good idea, but im not gonna bother . im gonna give it to my local garage along with my front wheel to get the valve stem changed.

okay, so i fixed my rear caliper and brake it is now working properly.

Good stuff. You gonna service the fronts while your at it? Maybe a good idea while the weathers crap and your not using it?

im not sure. i mean i just want to fix whats needing to be fixed for the MOT. my front discs are working perfectly fine and has huge stopping power. so to be fair, i dont know if i want to open that Pandoras box.

and isnt bleeding the fronts not harder? do you not have to bleed them simultaneously?

In your case, if it aint broke don't fix it....tackle what you have for now lol

Fronts are far easier to bleed than the rear

I have to disagree massively there, or are you trolling?
