Other than that, a job well done - might be worth considering changing all the brake fluid if you don't know when it was last done - very easy with a Gunsons Eezibleed.  |
Yes, I'd seen about that somewhere in my reading (dirty fluid problems). And yes, I'd been wondering about a fluid change, I'd place money on its not having been changed in a long time. I'll invest in a 7mm spanner before we start on that! Some Sunday reading for me... :-)
