Did you use copper grease when building the brakes... Did you clean the discs with brake cleaner ?

 

Speaker sounds like loose wire either head unit end or speaker end. Just fix the speaker and crank he tunes up power steering and brake noise should go away :)

 

That brake fluid looks posh I just buy 5 litres of the pagid dot 4 from ECP to pump through you normally waste half of it anyway.

Cheers bud :)

 

We planned to use copper grease -

But after the f/cursing of the brakes - we forgot about them :(

And no - no brake cleaner on disc :(

Can i just spray some now thru the alloys???

 

Yes - hoping power steering squeal go away soon ...

Will check speaker connections

 

 

 

Is it normal for ignition to crank anti-clockwise turn of key?

Never build brakes without copper grease, normally a smear on the back of the pad and where it touches the carrier, I guess that the cause of the noise... The brake cleaner is not too important, it just cleans all the grease off the disc. Don't bother spraying through the alloy.

 

Never tried the ignition like that before... Has someone started it with a screwdriver before :)

 

You haven't adjusted the speaker left right front rear on the head unit have you ?

Thanks! :)

 

I was testing the FADER / BALANCE on stereo this morning and thats how i discovered the speaker not working.

 

Considering i have wires trailing from front to back

and the previous owner had i stalled an amp/subwoofer in the boot before ...

 

 

I know i looked at the rear speakers before ...

Have some installed under the parcel shelf too - so unsure for now if oem speakers working or/and parcel shelf ones working too - will check when have time!

It shouldn't be a problem you don't have to push the Pistons back into the calliper this time it's just the removal of one bolt on the front calliper as it will pivot and the removal of the pads... And the removal off the complete calliper on the rear...

 

Check the slider pins on the carrier are greased up too...

wayne dont worry too much - you have done the hard work getting the brakes apart in the first instance, thus they should come apart easier on a 2nd time

 

ref the pivot - i think you can just loosen the top bolt on the back of the caliper, remove the bottom bolt & then pivot the bottom out & upwards

don't really need to loosen it. bottom bolt out then tyre leaver it should pivot.... but don't force it.....

 

wayne if your unsure just take both out.
