....So did I!!  :evilgrin: - I suddenly thought I was on a teenage boy's forum sharing info on how to get to first base! Once upon a time I did need to learn how to unhook a certain item of underclothing.  :evilgrin:

Back on topic, I sometimes wonder just how useful stone shields are or not. I don't have any on my rear brakes and don't have any problems so far.

Scousus maximus:
I'm just preparing to change my front discs and pads and was wondering about getting the 21mm bolts undone from 140 ft/lbs. Can they be undone with the steering on full lock so that I can get a bigger leverage on them via a piece of scaffold pole or can anybody advise any other easy options/trade tricks?
Thanks in advance,

Regards,

John

I've had this problem twice, (the car related one!!) once on my Audi TTS, 6 months ago, and once on the Golf - yesterday!!

Both times were cured by a quick bit of reversing. Maybe I was lucky, but it might be worth you trying that if you haven't already. :happy2:
