As above, just undo the caliper off the carrier (with the brake line attached) and remove the carrier and swap it with the other side, doing the same process. Cable tie the caliper somewhere on the strut to keep it out the way, or resting on the top of the discs if you are steady.
No. It can come in liquid or stick form. Put it on the threads and wind it into its position to stop it coming loose.
Ie: Cover the end of the studs with loctite, wind the loctite end of the studs into the hub until they sit home, let it dry and then slide wheels on and wind wheel nuts on...
M12 x 1.5 (pitch) x 26mm (thread length) with a 60 degree taper head is the standard size for 1*2's.
Obviously if you run a certain sized wheel spacer then add the sized spacer on top of the above thread length. (Rear hub spacers take standard wheel bolt size)
Ah, gutted mate. Know how that feels.
I think the 2nd engine in and rebuilding yours is the best idea if you what to use it. If not, then I'd rebuild yours.
Thanks Nathan :)
Ordered the same kit as I had before but with 4300k temperature bulbs. Just bought some new cree sidelights too. Keeping the orange indicators though.
The dogbone will make no difference at at in vibration but a big difference in feel. It is a must do cheap mod and I'd recommend that one on any 1*2.
Solid ones feel awesome when on the power. Yeah they vibrate more but not overly excessive. The gearbox one is a bit fiddly, but the engine one...
Thinking of going back to the above over halagens. I love the HID look and wanted to get that with standard bulbs but I don't think I can. I can't be doing with wasting money on bulbs trying to get that look. I know standard xenon is 4300k so I'd be after that or 5000k - what I had before...
Pop up the bonnet and push up! Use a flat screwdriver to help push if it's tight.
They are a push fit so nice and easy.
Link to the mist washer jets? I need to get some for when my bonnet gets sprayed.
