    Make yourself up a stand to bolt it to the floor so you can get parts on the lower quadrant of the wheel.
    Much easier than on a bench and you can then add some pressure to it.

    Replaced rear brake pads on the Triumph Sprint with GoldFrens. Have a look at the uneven wear in the 2nd photo:

    Cleaned and freed up the caliper pad pins etc, so hopefully won't wear like this again!!

    That's a stuck piston or seized slide pin.

    will put him on my list- bike mechanic not happy losing a cmsnl sale and margin and said he could not guarantee the job- all i want is a guarantee on his workmanship as i doubt japanese generics would be faulty.

    Time to join up so I can arrange for Historic Rego.

    Well won’t be happening for now, at least the rego. We had agreed a price etc and when I was trying to arrange a pick up time and payment I get a txt late last night saying he sold it to somebody else.
    Meh, it happens.

    Still searching for parts :( If that engine on ebay said the damn thing was in decent shape (i.e. good compression) I would have bought it.... shipping it is damn expensive though.
