Title: Vectra B rear brakes, what a git
Post by: Jimbob on 09 February 2009, 08:55:26
Who put those solid brake pipes over the lower caliper bolt  >:(

Meant we had to clamp em, and remove the pipe to get the calipers off to do Rear disks and pads.


Lovely job this time of year!

I always use a ring spanner.....but they can be bent enough to get a socket in.

Father in law wasnt taking any chances breaking em (was bloody cold as well), so clamp and remove it was.
