ha, they didn't stand a chance with bolt cutters! But I'm going to buy a nut splitter to make it a little easier to remove the lower ball joint off the arb as I know that's seized too. Drop links on order from SBITS so I should have these today as Peter was unbelievably helpful! Car should be slamme...

slarty- yeah I have got a 5mm in the end and the 14mm spanner on the nut. (after not realising it initially, only for 30 seconds though :p ) I'm just going to cut off the old ones and buy new ones. Am I going to have the same mare with the rears? if so I'll just buy a whole set and some bolt cutters...

Yeah I was already planning on upgrading.
Had a rethink and I'm gona stick with standard arb for now and cut drop links off.
But got to order new ones and wait first
Hate not having my car, its like losing a leg.

Cheers dude.
Well its now sitting on axle stands in my mates cul de sac. Less than ideal. Just gona drop the arb assembly off tomoz so I can get it home. Then order new drop links and arb and fit

Shoot me...
Trying to remove drop link and the nut just seized and its stuck. Left to soak but it won't tighten or loosen.
Pretty annoyed tbh. Any help please

ball sacks, as long as the arch gap is less that 10mm I can live with that :p if it's not then bu88er! Love eg civics, wanted an eg6 sir2 but realised it would be pretty much the same as the mr2 tubby for insurance so went for that instead! a couple of mates have got ek's. ones and ek9 sitting on sp...

woo, people using their cars instead of showing them, awesome! One of the most things i've ever done was drifting in the snow continuously around the car park in and out of the lamp posts etc. was so much fun. and as it was so slow I didn't feel bad about it! haha. you have to drive the two with the...

eg iain, guessing by the name you've got a civic? prob just wrong and being a geek though. haha.
Just got some BC's so I'll let you know how low they go as I'm going to sit it on it's ar$e on the 16 inch enkei's i've got, so I'll be able to give you an answer on them hopefully tomorrow!

yeah I know you can get refurbed ones.
I was just wondering if there are any aftermarket ones so that they're new on there.
No wories though as I understand the refurbed ones are fine.
Cheers guys

Hey up guys, hope everyones good! just a quicky to see if there are any companies that do oem fitting replacement calipers? Just because I'd quite like abit more bite and rather than replacing my dodgy right front with second hand items that could also go, it'd be nice to have some fresh new jobbies...

cheers for that, I did look at that last night, but it doesn't have any tech specs from what I can see unfortunately

Anyone got anymore details on it rather than just "capped to 300bhp"?
I'm after the weight of it etc as I had the idea to turn mine into a sort of roadgoing tribute to it (sad I know, but I don't want big horsepower figures as it's a daily driver)
cheers in advance

Thank you! Got one of those hex ones and its just come straight off, you live and learn

(a hex spanner with a bit cut out so it fits over the brake line)

Nah I'm afraid not. Off to get one now!

Sorry I mean hoses. For braided ones. It's the nut on the end of the metal line that bolts into the 19 mm hex that mounts to the chassis

On. the first one. Can't get the bolt off the metal line end as feels like its just going to round. Techniques or ideas?

Just had this issue on a mates motorbike so I thought it might be worth mentioning. Turned out that the problem was the o-rings in the caliper were borked and were starting to melt! What was happening, I think, was that the caliper was sticking on cos the o-rings were a mess and then, cos so much h...

No xxxx. He spends his life working with hydraulics on trains and he means a small amount of air in the system, ie, shouldn't be there but is and will expand under temp causing that piston to bind hard. No need to be rude and sarcastic.

I may be completely wrong here, buy my drivers front is currently sticking and the first thing my experienced friend suggested wasn't the runners or piston (i know they're most likely), but air in the system heating up and sticking the caliper. Given your symptoms is this not possible?

Sorry guys, last minute bail out by me. Weathers too good not to go riding so that's for a come first. Promise I'll be along to one asap though. Have a good one
