(Thanks to GeGe6 for holding mine until I could pick it up last time )I'd be looking at least for a litre but may just bite the bullet and shell out for the 4L bottle. If anyone is keen, drop me a PM and we can see how we go Could save on Postage if a few are keen?Cheers,DanDan, I still have 4 liters of Kyle's here.Might be worth asking him if he wants to sell it or some of it.Just a thought?You didn't hit me up about the SC-7 stance in a txt the other day, did you?

They just slide out the top of the caliper now thanks to these handy pins :DWheel nuts still have to come off but those are much harder to break muahahahaBesides I know the correct torque for them anyway (125Nm or 135Nm depending which page you read in the BF workshop manual).I have the brake caliper torque specs page in front of me and still can't figure out which one I should have used on the factory calipers. It was the caliper slide bolt that I broke, but that's not mentioned. I used the "caliper mounting bolt" spec which is probably three or our times as much as it should be hahaha. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
