Bit of brake fluid on the spanner and it went flying into my head which was jammed in the wheel arch trying to view what I was doing.In the end, worked out well and have my first brake flush completed. Braking has improved significantly so my spongey braking was due to fluid needing replacement. Still have the RDA rotors on the way though and will get some Remsa pads to accompany them.1.5 hours or $40 from a brake store.... hmm lolNext time I do it in light and it should only take 30 mins.
