That is mine fitted front and rear, rear would have been hard going without the calliper rewind tool, fronts were 20 mins a side and easy.
Living the dream.
Just ordered the tool this morning, mate let me down.
Pity you were not closer and you could have borrowed mine, It certainly makes the job easy.

Really interesting thread this. I was getting a bit of brake judder/wheel shimmy under braking on the Heartbeat Tour. Fairly low miles on my JCW brakes, but they have been on for a while so might be a bit 'off' by now? Car still stops ok, but must get them checked... Could maybe have a bit of rust on the back of the discs...

I was getting that too Euan before I replaced my pads and discs but that was after 30k miles of use
Cheers for the offer but it is a bit of a way. Thing was only 25 quid.Originally Posted by John Martin

I had the car out again last night and the brakes actually felt ok. Possibly whatever was causing the problem has finally worn off? The car wasn't out for months last year due to me and my Dad's health issues - and it had only had a few short outings before the Heartbeat Tour. The discs and pads have therefore done MUCH less than 30k, in fact the whole car just passed 15k on the Tour! I'll see how it goes in the next few weeks... Fingers crossed!

I'm sure it'll be OK Euan now it's had a run, brakes are always a nightmare if you leave them so maybe the HBT has done them the world of good !

You only need two tools in life WD40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and should use WD40 and if it moves and shouldn't use Duct Tape.
Tell you something, it certainly did ME the world of good -
I reckon I got my 'Mojo' back during the Tour
