    I hate S2, UrS4, UrS6 rear calipers!

    Just took 6 hours to change rear discs and pads because of the "great" design of the rear calipers.
    UrS6 - Homefry, Bailey DV, PiperX filter, Samco hoses, H&R springs, 3" D/P back zorst, 270bhp and 260ftlb :rock:

    Triumph Daytona 955i - mmmmmm :fire:

    What was the problem? getting the calliper off, winding back the piston?

    did you have all the correct tools?

          Oh yes, what a pain in the **** that is!

          Siezed carrier on one side too.

          Siezed pads on both sides.

          At least I found the reason my hanbrake was holding on.

          Wasn't as bad ad the front subframe bushes and front arms and ARB bushes I did last night. That was fun.

          Suspension is tight like a tiger now though.

          4 wheel alignment on Monday.

          Should all be set for the ring next week now.

            Bloody hell I was going to say 6 hours. You could have rebuilt them in that time I bet? Glad you've got it all sorted for the ring. Can't wait to go there hopefully in May next year but as you know lots to sort out in a short time(leave it to the last min,well that's what I normally do)Well at least you've got it sorted, hope you have a good time
            Just some finishing touches to do now

              Tell me about it. All last minute. New plugs and plug boots go in on Monday as well as alignment. I leave on Monday!

              I have an ABS light on too, I think it's a sensor. I'll have to get that sorted in ze Fartherland though.
