Krzys Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 My newly acquired impact driver became my best friend getting the old discs off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vtec2011 Posted June 26, 2014 Author Share Posted June 26, 2014 I'm defiantly getting a impact driver because I struggle taking the bloody torxs / screws off customers cars Been a good day today though! The hand-brake cable came and it was the right one this time. So that's everything back together and I was really looking forward to driving the Deck home I also bought a MB6 VTi lip off ebay, CHEAP! And been informed that I will be working full time starting Tuesday (Beggining of next month) because the apprenticeship course ends on Monday. So that means I should be getting a better wage *Opens new tab**Ebay**Coilovers* 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krzys Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 Nice one mate! Defiantly get the lows and do it right too! How easy are the cables to change? Need to do both on mine, looks simple enough but haven't looked on the car properly yet. I know how to get them off the caliper and I know where the other ends are under the arm rest.

Need to do both on mine, looks simple enough but haven't looked on the car properly yet. I know how to get them off the caliper and I know where the other ends are under the arm rest. Lows.... that's all I can think about! It's quite easy and seeing as the calipers came off a doddle on yours, it should be easier again! The only bit I had to fight with was the exhaust heat shield as it can be a pain to remove. You might have to drop the exhaust to get it out. Also heat shield bolts can be diffecult to remove depending how rusty they are. But the hand-brake cable itself is pretty straight forward. The difference is I use a 4 poster ramp at work so I don't know what it's like to do on the floor. Great news on the job position mate!! Can start fueling you project better again now Oh yes! Need to save back some pennies yet but shouldn't be long Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
