Series 3 Brake hell....
« on: November 08, 2005, 01:21:27 »
Oh what a night!  Replaced 2 wheel cylinders on nsf wheel only to find i cant get the bleed nipple off the old ones :(  

Took me ages to make the poxy little pipes from clyinder to cylinder but that probably because ive never done it before.  

To top it off, my adjusters are seized to death and been rounded by a previous owner.  Now the drum wont go back together over the shoes and the bottom cylinder is leaking happily!  Have ordered a brake adjuster repair kit from craddocks but has anyone done it?  I cant see how they come apart, do they just pull off the splines with a crow bar?  

Anyone in merseyside wanna sort it for a tenner?     :lol:

Agreed, wait until you see the replacement units, they are slightly different fitting from the originals
