they have some sort of a pin holding them in, when pushing from underneath they pop up. to disconnect the hose simply pull downwards; turning it slightly while pulling down may help
the new ones also have a rubber seal that sits between them and the bonnet ;)
guide:
pop up the bonnet
take off the hoses from underneath the washers
push them up by hand or something else if strength is required
pop the new ones in from the top of the bonnet
re-connect hoses
done
Hi
Fiited one to a clio R27 about 1-2 weeks ago. I know people mostly slate them but had a couple of runs with the guy before and after and it pulls slightly better with the K&N on. I think the CAF being routed down in the gearbox/driveshaft area where air isn't that hot made a difference. now...
the megane II 15" 6,5J ET45 steel wheels is what you're looking for. I bought a set for mine and some 195/50 tyres with them. they should be about 50/corner
your's was pretty high before the springs, mine's about the same. I'm pretty tempted on these springs, thanks for sharing!
keep an update on the handling!
I recently had a highway run and at 80 they do spray at the bottom of the windscreen but the area covered is better. however at low and medium speeds they work good and I like the fact that I won't bother adjusting them
not quite true.. I know many cars having red calipers out of factory without having brembo's. brembo are also yellow, bronze, even black.
to the OP- you'll find pics around here with painted calipers in many colours so take a look and decide
I painted red the calipers of a mate's clio 172...
the GTI mk V has red calipers (for example) and they're nothing special but look good though. so can't go so wrong in painting them like this. yeah it depends on the colour of the car a little - if you're yellow or green then probably red won't cut it- otherwise black suits every colour if you...
