  1. Thats a common issue..

    If you remove your alternator - no need to disconnect wiring - (will reach and rest it on top of engine) undo bolts and remove the " p gasket " bracket assembly you can get a pair of mole grips on each of them and undo..

    High chance you will need to file / block sand the ally housing before refitment too as is will be pitted..

    Blow away with airline if poss any coolant so bone dry or sealant / gasket can weep on reasembly

    The material "p gasket" (older version) is better than the metal type for slight corrosion sealing faces..

    A liberal amount of hylomar on all faces.

    Put back together..

    Lightly coat the 3 replacement bolts in copper slip..

    A dob of threadloc on all bolts.

  2. I tried powerflex bushes when i refurbed my axle and found them too solid.

    On hard cornering when pushing on b roads it felt like the rear of the car wanted to break traction with the road..

    Replaced them with Superpro ones and love the transformation. They are made from different grade material throughout the bush so gives firmness and compliance..

    Lifetime warranty too if im not mistaken..


  3. Standard did the job and stopped well with the abs but with your foot down pushing on hard on b roads i boiled the brake fluid on a few occasions racing a mate in his 156 alfa.

    288's stopped much better but the brake pedal feel never inspired too much confidence.

    The brembo's with euro spec rears are just awesome.. Best mod ive done to date..
