Thanks to Andrei we finally finished off the complete rebuild of the front brakes yesterday afternoon thanks to some nob head who put the wrong parts on it before I owned it so here goes:
2 x New Calipers at £82 each
2 x Brembo solid 256mm disks £35 ish
Full set of front brake pads to match disks £20 ish
New Caliper bracket for O/s as one on there was a 20mm not 24mm item £10
Brake Fluid (4 litres) £5 at GSF
Labour £20 to do N/s caliper, did offside between myself and Andrei after seeing how easy it is.
Bit of an expensive job in the end and a frustrating one too, dont think it helped yesterday that both Andrei and myself had been at work since 6 or 7am, I managed to put caliper bracket on without disk in place and had to take it apart again then we couldn't get the brake hose to unbolt from the caliper so had to put on the 20mm bracket and caliper again to get enough force to loosen it off.
You'll all laugh I expect but it took us about an hour and a half to do one caliper change, was our first one though so now we both know how to do it the next will be easier.
Sorry no pics but I will upload some later or tomorrow..
Next jobs include:
Full brake fluid change (going to garage for that one)
Pick up my 17 inch multispokes friday or saturday
Re-chrome the bumper trims on front and rear bumper
Sort blowing exhaust manifold downpipe or replace with sportex (can't decide at moment)
Find a cheap sprayer locally to redo my roof and bonnet as roof has bad laquer peel and bonnet is stone chipped from all my motorway driving
Also now looking at a mk3 Astra 1.6i to buy cheap and repair some small bits for profits sake only, cannot afford a second car but one that will make me a couple of hundred quickly is more than welcome on my drive.
I got a fair few bits myself, but the main thing is you at least got the right part for yours FINALLY
