not really upgrading cos i need to but as i figured its more reliable than the hoses i have on - they have been on since new so 14 years old....


Yup thats it - if you are replacing old fluid and as anutz is doing spending some money on new pistons and seals whats the point in keeping 17 year old rubber hoses

Go for the HEL ones direct from Hel as you will get a discount from being on this forum

Do you see that long bolt next to the washers -- it is a double banjo bolt to hold two banjo ends at the master cylinder (leaver) and then each of the two lines gos to each caliper, left and right and you then do away with the bridging bar under the yokes, so no orig rubber will be left

The origional system is a 3 line one, at the front

Never heard mine in 14 years, changed the cooent last year and let is sit running with some flush in and got bored waiting for the fan to come on -- it never did, everything was getting hot making ticking noises as parts started to expand- smelt hot too, I wonder if it even works

The debt:

went up about 60% under Labour pre-crash
So using these figures the best period was when Brown was chancellor as during those 10 years the debt only increased by 60% :eek

ONLY increased by  :eek those 10 years were the boom time there should of been zero borrowing

is there any issue with using "Pattern part" piston sets or should i stick with OEM?
 
A set if pistons and seals for a front caliper is 70-80 on ebay, but not sure what OEM is, looking at fowlers...


Didn't they sing "Losing My Religion"  :lol

That was R.E.M.(Rapid Eye Movement) not OEM :rolleyes

No no you are thinking of OMD-------------------showing my age now ( orchestral maneuvers in the dark )  :guitar anola gay should of stayed at home yesterday  :guitar   and that lot

FZS600 Fazer / Re: brake fluid bleeding problems
« on: 09 May 2015, 10:32:00 am »
Only open bleed screw as far as it needs to be to pass fluid, it might only be half a turn and you might feel a lot of pressure at the pedal to achieve this. Even if it's a one way bleed tube i always nip up the screw ( just enough, not fully ) while the pedal is still moving.
That sounds good advice
I had exactly the same issue when I did my front so I gave up in the end and tightened hopfully not too much ( was quite tight in the end ) and then it stopped

On the poor advice of copper grease on the Pistons I would have to question the persons :fish knowledge of brakes,


It wasnt advice it was a question look


 
would copper grease be better on those ends that are constantly exposed to keep rust at bay now that the chrome has been removed.




See the word WOULD ---- I am asking not telling
Now I know thank you, red rubber grease it is then :smokin

I never knew what that hose was thought it was some sort of breather.
The rubbers look fine --- in that nothing to worry about yet as they are only very fine cracks and will need to get much much worse before the cracks are all the way through

I suppose if red grease will protect just as well then best to be safe, I just get the impression that red grease is not as robust in staying where you put it as copper grease would be as it is made for assembly, just thinking rubber grease is sort of transulant/ watery  - not quite and dosent seem like it would stand up to the weather.

And if other grease is a no no with rubber - how come you pack rubber gatered joints on your car with non red rubber grease

Yes I have seen excess slowly creep up too, and always factor this in when getting quotes.
I never knew that about summer quotes - mine is in October, I wonder if it is worth while for those hit by summer quotes to go for a 6month one then 12 even though you will not be adding another year NCB in doing so, is that right that if you only insure 6 months a year you dont gain NCB

  :stop  So you reckon putting grease with particles of metal in it being moved tight against rubber seals won't cause any issues?  :rolleyes


As advised, several times, on here, ONLY use Red RUBBER Grease.
I waw thinking on parts away from the seals - like they tell you to do the back of the pads

Interesting predictions... most of which turned out a little far off the mark

Er not quite,

Like has been said the bad bit is outside of the seals so I cant see a problem, rather than red grease (after fitting) would copper grease be better on those ends that are constantly exposed to keep rust at bay now that the chrome has been removed.
Why dont they make them from stainless steel is it just cost.

I feel these auto renewals are the next PPI, this needs looking into and everyone who has been caught out needs compensating
