I set up as per usual, tarpaulin on the ground, was able to wear my over alls to save my clothes and they did keep me a little warmer I admit. I also went out in my WRC woolie hat...
Yesterday I removed the guide pin bolt and today I have removed the caliper mounting bolt.
Both bolts needed good old elbow grease and some WD40 to free them, I am no light weight and I have always been a very strong woman but these two bolts took it out of me and between them both, I've hurt both shoulders lol.
A bit of wiggling later and I removed the caliper.
I've sprayed some brake and clutch cleaner on the effected area and this is a working progress. Probably going to have to replace the ABS sensor.
| You can clearly see the ABS sensor here. I have already attacked it with the brake cleaner spray. |
Now, did anyone see Top Gear on 24/02/13 and think of me?
They bought a Fiat Multipla and converted for the older people in the Country... They took out the passenger air bag (OF ALL AIRBAGS!) and they first had to defuse the airbag... they showed two cables and didn't know which to cut... Those scenes were hilarious to watch!
Anyway, I have come to the conclusion that it does not matter which orange cable meets the pink and which orange cable meets the blue.
I admit that I still am not 100% sure on this but I have now very little choice on what to do. I have removed the drivers seat to look-see, and sure enough the brown box has a different number on.
I believe it's a 5, although admittedly it may be a 3 - I have lost my glasses. I am pretty sure it's a number 5 though.
What ever is written on those orange cables are very much, illegible.
| Definitely puts new meaning to ''back seat driver'' |
| Drivers seat before it was removed. (Added for reference). |
| Just look at how much space has been achieved by removing the passenger seat - I must say, I am impressed lol. |
| Best seat in the car now, lol. |
| Can you read it? 'Cos I sure can't! |
| It doesn't show up at all, but blue is numbered 9 and the brown is numbered 8. |
Still have a LOT of work to do on her and she needs a damn good clean - I hope to scrap some pennies together soon for a pressure washer. Though I admit I am tempted to just go out there with my sponge and have a good feel of her curves........... remind her she's loved and that I am trying my best.
