TRD3000GT Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 I have just bought some UK front brakes and want to get them fitted in London. Also want to replace my J-Spec rears with new pads + disks. While the rears are being replaced I would quite like the rears to be serviced? I think they might be sticking slightly. Or do you think I should just get a new set or UK rears as well? UK rears are $$$ thats the only problem. Any ideas? C> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Chris, if Watford's not too far I know a decent cheap garage there. Try the fronts, get them to check the rears over. Let me know if you want the # Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous brain Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 Seriously dood its not that hard a job to do UK brake swap. Lets put it this way I showed my missus how to do it on one side and she did the other. The most difficult bit in my opinion is the bleeding part but if you get a gunsons pressure bleed kit with a gunsons pressure bleed kit bayonet cap universal adaptor even thats not too bad. If ya want PM me I will let ya have my phone number and can talk ya through it if you want. Servicing the sticky rears will be a bit more complex but its not all that difficult just a bit messy (brake fluid is very ikky stuff). I know it might seem a stupid thing to say but I assume you are running on stock 17" wheels or above and not the stock 16"s. Most reputable garages charge about £30 an hour ish and if they take approx half the time it took me to do the job then no more than 2-3 hours with the barake caliper servicing I reckon.
