Not actually doing anything today, but yesterday I went down to Greg

@ Land Cruisers Overland (top man) to get two sheared wheel nut studs replaced, and when he removed the brake caliper we noticed the pads needed replacing they were about as thick as a fag paper

there might have been just enough meat left to get me back home

Greg fitted new pads for me, luckily he had a set destined for another customers truck, then ordered replacements, the wear indicators hadn't given me any warning

even though you could see they had been in contact with the disk.
The studs had sheared the day before when I had two new tyres fitted on the front, it was just the front off-side nuts that had seized the near-side ones came off very easily. So having new tyres might have saved me getting new disks at a later date.
Another thing, when the tyres were fitted I couldn't find the socket for the locking nuts

and had to get them removed at a local garage (£20 squids to remove four nuts

) so not wanting to use them again I am now in need of six wheel nuts for steel rims, four to replace the locks and two to replace the couple that seized, any kind person got any spare

I still have a few beer tokens left over from last months pension
