Further than my other post on trying to tighten my chain and realising that it's seized could anybody give me some advice on removing this C clip I'm having a nightmare trying to get it off Thanks in advance
Yep got it off mate cheers Looks like the buggers seized at the brake callipers holder (see pics) any idea how to get it off / unsure it please Sorry fir all the questions I'm really struggling
This is where brute force, a mallet and a few choice words gets the job done. Check the Allen bolt that stops it spinning is tight. They have a habit of coming loose
Allan bolt is rock tight. But looks like there's a lip that will stop the bracket sliding off. I've looked for a exploded diagram to check in right but can't find one
Yer thats great thanks. Looks like the calliper holding bracket is the only thing on that side i will dig out my Rubber mallet and teach my dog some new words lol thanks
Lots (nearly a full can) of Wd40 and a hammer and I still can't bash the break calliper holder off. Has anyone got any words of wisdom that might help. Can I also check that the calliper bracket( black bit in picture is definitely meant to slide off please
Yes slides off. try a bit of heat to expand it. maybe take out the allen bolt so it can rotate to loosen it
Good job done. how bad was the corrosion? Next job is to do the suspension linkages. I expect at least 2 to be gone.
Wasn't that bad looking at it I've cleaned it and put a good cost of copper grease on it After market suspension si hoping it's all ok
Be surprised! the top is a bugger to get out. You are there so do it if you can. Top pin is about £80 so worth protecting.
