Yes, probably the ticking/rattling sound is worth starting a new thread. Fortunately the clutch works ok, but I'd better know where it comes from. To bleeding. I remember, for other cars which I had there was always a rule to begin at the furthest caliper from the driver and proceed in order...

Hi Tel Boy, Thanks for your comments. Unfortunately I do not know the history of my clutch. I made a record of that sound. It sounds springy I would say, that's why I think it is one or more springs on the plate which is loose. It's not the best record but maybe you can hear it. If not I'll...

Hi Tel Boy, So I did the other side as well. This time the rotor and the bearing went out very easily. The only problem I had were the upper studs. When tighting the nuts these studs were comming out from their threads, so it took me a while to tighten them. I replaced the other rotor as well...

Hi Tel Boy, thanks a lot. You make my life with this car much easier! I plan do the same job for the other side this weekend. Then I start working on the load sensitive valve, the challenge will be to loosen the bolts and especially the bleeding screw. Hopefully I will be able to bleed the...

Hi Tel Boy, great to hear you again! I am done with the job. It was a real nightmare, but not because of the job itself but because of unexpected problems like stuck things, rusty or worn bolts and screws where it tooks hours to loosen or replace them. But ok, now there is no squeaking sound...

Hello Tel Boy, hope you are fine. I think I need your help again. Today I spend few minutes in order to adjust a preload. I started by 2 shims up and 2 down, the old ones were like that. The knuckle was very loose, I could even move it up and down by hand. So I took out one shim up and down, ie...

Finally I had a bit a success today and made to tap it out, disassembled and cleaned everything. In the next days I will try to adjust a preload and put all together. I have noticed some rusty brake lines and cracked brake hose which I will replace at a time. When bleeding brakes can I use the...

Hi Tel Boy, I waw waiting a long time for the 54mm socket, so I jumped into it today. I removed the both 54mm nuts but I can not remove the rotor/disc. I can see the wheel bearing but I can not pull the disc out. It there something more to release? Can you help me where is the problem? Thanks...

Hi Tel Boy, do you think it's a big problem to do it without a spring tension gauge, I do not have any, if I just applied the right torque? Otherwise a big thank you, I'd send you a good bottle if possible.

Tel Boy, are you still there? Can you help me with the torques? Thanks.
