No, the loan of jack is sorted. Not fixed the brakes yet, planned for Sat.

Should be quick, slap some pads in that have an element of friction material.

joshwyatt, can you bring a hammer as well, and if you have one, a thin punch, to drive the pins out.

I keep forgetting that I have *nothing*  :'(

A nail and carefully applied wheel brace or brick would suffice if you get stuck...

Ah, a torque wrench as well, Mr Wyatt. Do you have one?

Yup. Let your pads wear down to the metal, but make sure the wheel nuts are torqued correctly. ;D

No imagination though ::) a bit of improvisation goes a long way, especially given the selection of debris 'tools' you might find on a building site...

Last time I saw you had a pile of 'make do' hammers plus a scattering over most of the neighbourhood in the form of house bricks.

I've got a few spare bricks knocking about, some timber, and a couple of roof tiles.


Ooh. I see a plan forming. :)

Well... Given he has an lpg tank in the boot as well, I'd suggests some heavy brake testing. ;D

Possibly due to the one and only time I did entrust you to do them up, only to have them almost fall out, following an "ethusiastic" journey home... :P

All debris cleared some months ago. Not a spare brick in the house, not even the one Guffer posted me anonymously (you left too many clues, Guffer) that caused Mrs TB to have one of her infamous sense of humour failures over ;D

I know they arrived AFTER the, er, accident. ;)

Not had chance to have a play, what with the hassles of changing jobs, and then blowing up "our" server.
