This is what a service looks like........


And as a reminder, this is what a wooden toolbox looks like...

I forgot to take a photo of the marks underneath, but hope now that the neoprene will provide enough of a cushion. There was no damage from the axle kisses.......!

This is the nearside. Harder to photograph as it's close to the wall. Same pattern as the offside. Leading shoe hardly worn, and rear shoe doing the work.


Moving on to the front and it's usually possible to do the bleeding with the wheel in place. I was loosening the nipple and doing about eight strokes of the pedal, before topping up the master cylinder. You can see the red plastic top hat cover in this shot.


This shows my home made bleed tube, and the old fluid which looks like pond water.


This is the nearside, and the container is nearly full. It's easy to see when the new clear fluid emerges. The ring spanner (11mm) is also evident in this photo.


The old fluid..........



Next the engine oil & filter - this was well covered in my first service post, so just two things. These filters are the same. The one on the right from last year. The one on the left from this year. It's been modified with a restrictor.
Hmmmmm


Always fill the new filter nearly full with new oil. It shortens the time at first start up when the engine rattles briefly...... I'm using Mobil1 5w/30.


Finally, a slow shutter speed and a spinning wheel.......


And now it really is time for some wine, and dinner in that order.......

Another Great Thread Dave.
