Brake Disk change

On the back of the GS.

I've never had to do this before. Any helpful hints or tips that you
lot can conjure up which would make the job easier would be most
welcome.


And yes I should get a man but I can't afford it this week.

 

Buy thread lock compound, and a little brass brush.

 

I got threadlock on the van.

If the buggers won't undo apply gentle heat to destroy the threadlock, if
any, already in the threads holding the disk on.

I'm around Flatland area Monday Tuesday next week, if you get stuck ring me
or txt and I'll drop by with the gas axe etc...

Thread lock compound for the disc bolts, little brass brush for your

Why get a man in, if I can do it, you most certainly can...

If you can get it over to Darkest North Herts then the time and
materials are available to sort it for you.

Other then that, the existing disk should remove without undue protest,
and the new one gets fitted with some threadlock on the bolts.

I shouldn't get stuck, theoretically I have all the right tools.
Besides I have a choice of angle grinders and gas axe just doesn't cut
it with the noise.

Depends dunnit, just how long is your local dead straight long bit of
gatso free road? Is it, for example, long enough for an FJ12 to reach
full speed and maintain it for an additional minute or two, say?

This seems to be a common theme. Ta.

Only if it is purple anodised.

Time on your hands all ready? It shouldn't be an issue, I know far too
well how to take a back wheel off, I've just never had to change a disk
before.

And on the subject of changing it occurred to me the other day when I
was looking at turning the spiders out of next season's gloves that my
18 month old HG Panthans hadn't been out in the rain, that I could
remember. It has been very dry in Sunny Essex.

This level of agreement among you lot is frightening, what are you up
to?

Because the smell of Swarfega no longer gives me a hard on.

Well, I've never had a problem.

....

Not with that, anyway.

If the gnarled-one does hit trouble with it, then I'd suggest he bungs
it back in and rides over here pronto[1]. We have tools.

Bwaahaahaahaaahaaaaa

Oh yes, children, we have tools.

Of course, he's so fucking senile that he won't admit he has a problem
until it's too late.


The advantage of this is that we all get to laugh at him in public.

I view it as a win-win, myself.

[1] Or slings it in the back of the Mongvan.

It'll be getting the allen key that fits and it'll have to like it.

Ho yuss but I ain't got one so I am going to rely on the awesome synergy
of thermodynamics and expletives if I get trouble from it.

Neither have I.

I've never had a problem.

**** off you furry pseudo human you.

Hmmm..

Are you going to the BOSM?

No. The bike is Bloo, very Bloo it is, covered with an extraordinary
amount of Bloo and some of it is metallic Bloo as well, just a touch too
Bloo really and nothing to set it off.

The answer, of course, is purple anodised fasteners and accessories.

Or Black. Black accessories would work but I think it would have to be
gold fasteners and you would have to be so careful about where you did
or didn't use them it would take all the fun out of it. Besides, gold
is gauche.

I am keeping my eyes open for purple flames for the belly pan. Nice
dark ones fading to black at the bottom. That would get rid of some of
the Bloo and cover some scratches. Who knows, the added red might just
make it go faster. All that Bloo bogs it right down, sucks the speed
right out of it, it does.
