^Take the CV joint off, slide a new gaitor on, CV joint back on, clip it up and jobs a good un.

Brakes look really good behind the wheels mate!

A knackered CV joint gaiter. Hence the grease all over the hub that should be inside the gaitor lubricating the joint.

the greenstuff pads look brilliant with silver calipers, untill you do about 500 miles anyway lol then you cant see them!

You mean re-pack it with grease and put a new clip on?

Why would you replace a gaitor that isn't split, the pic shows only the clip has broken

Mine has gone to.
Went to take it to have the exhaust checked cause i thought it was blowing looked up and the CV has split and dumped a load of greas on the inside of my wheel L/H.
Just bought two new ones £8 each, get them done this week.

Like the pads by the way.

brakes look cool, silver = best calipa colour

 

[dansonamission]

Ive just finished painting the rear this evening. All back together now! will post some pics soon, even though theres not much to see on the rear ones.

 

[beatjunkie]

Is it hard taking the cv gaitor off can you just pull it back and re pack it that way?

 

[Giles]

brake looking good, looks like it need a clean in there

 

[dansonamission]

^ It does indeed.

 

[Leeshez]

Wow what a great job .

 

[Neil G]

Top job...looks great

 

[Jayb 172]

good job still not sure whether to do my brakes red or silver judging by that silver looks favourite!

 

[S Garbett]

Great work! Well Done!

Looks Smart,

Steve

 

[dansonamission]

Go for silver Jay, i thought red would be too in your face.

 

[Jayb 172]

after seeing this mind is pretty much made up think red can be a bit to much unless youve got some massive brembos!
