You talking about the one that feeds across near the washer bottle?
It does restrict your movement, but I have hands like spades & managed it ok enough.
Hi mate,
I did mine the other day. It can be done if you are patient, but if you try and rush it you'll end up cutting your hands up & getting riled in the process.
The nearside I actually found the easiest strangely. 10mil socket to remove the acoustic valve. Remove plastic battery cover &...
Also did my head light bulbs the other day.
One of those things that once you've done it, it's not so bad.
Bit of an arse ache though as my hands are like spades.
I used one when I did mine, wouldn't say you'd need it but it depends on how old your car is and the state of the calipers IMO.
The rears get absolutely covered in Sh*t meaning some calipers can seize/get sticky, a winder would make it easier.
Not worth it. The rears wont get hot enough to be effective, meaning they'll likely offer less braking than the originals.
Unless it's a track only car, don't bother.
I know a lot of this will vary on the workmanship & boost etc, but anyone running a daily boosted clio with standard (ish) service intervals etc?
Any issues with these. I 'may' consider something silly as a toy at some point & was wondering what they are like to live with?
I'd probably use it...
I had a big shunt in my first car, Was going down a country lane on the way back from the chip shop. Some helm in an M3 pulled out on me, went straight in to my rear quarter panel, lost the rear end, went up a bank, hit a wall & rolled it.
BM driver tried to say it was my fault (w*nk piece) ...
