I cleaned and keyed up the caliper best I could, then gave it all a good spray with brake cleaner to remove all the shit.

Masked up then sprayed in light coats with a heater on it inbetween coats. Left to dry for 24 hours then baked in the oven using the instructions on the can.

Job jobbed

Same way

Just one thing though, I would buy new disc bolts as old ones have tendency to snap off in the wheel when you torque them up.

Kris

Have a whel with 3 snapped bolts , didnt even get to torquing them up and they had hardly gone tight before they snapped

I find that this usually happens when previous owners have used threadlock on the bolts/wheel threads. I never use it on disc bolts.

A dusting of clear laqure will help protect them after you have polished them, it will keep the oxyigen and slow down any rusting.

Here's the latest pics and it now includes axle pinch bolts and wheel spacers, gonna be ordering new bearings and seals from wemoto tomorrow.





I know axle ain't great but its a lot better than it was
Oh yeah and just to make you laugh after i put the callipers back together and i had torqued them up I noticed 2 little seals sitting on my side oh boulder dash I said now there I was worrying about chipping the paint on the torx's bolts which I didn't do but now I have to undo them again it's bound to be the wrong 1 that I take apart but I was fortunate and I still managed not to chip the paint , cleaned up insides of my forks and calliper mounts just got to get the autosol out and finish them off, gave the wheel a little tcut I really need to get them sprayed/powder coated their looking a little rough but that will have to wait.

Top picture is very cool

She's almost back together now thank god still waiting on pads that I ordered last week from the dreaded flea bay

Very clean
