Ha, yeah well its all in with new lines now anyway. The bloody bolt head on the caliper end fouled on the bolt holding the calipers together. Dremel to the rescue.

Hi!

[Willis]

I was waiting for you to respond. Although your name has changed back to "Reed"

[B.L.Z.BUB]

[Willis]

Yeah but wasn't your "real name" once Jesus?

Bit pricey for an 01 dave.

Should I buy a workbench or save money to spend on my car?

 

Or should I buy a torque wrench?

Depends if you need to torque something.

[It's_AUDM_Yo]

I'd say spend it on your car. Just make a work bench we built a really big one from a metal single bed frame.

Wow, just found out how expensive quality torque wrenches are. $500 for a W&B 1/2" unit, ʞ©$ɟ that! Probably cheaper on ebay...

I've got one of these: http://www.tradetools.com/products/6474530LW

 

Works... comes with a calibration certificate IIRC. I don't use it anywhere near as often as I should.

Have a look on instructables.com for a few DIY ideas.
