Re: Fleet Occurrences
Can't see a Draper one in 17mm, but if you get a something like this https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124264320284 , just heat it and bend it tighter if you need a right angle.
BMW / Heyco in 17mm - 71 12 6 771 036
(RBJ might be able to comment on whether the folding 17mm ones 71 12 1 129 746 are shite or not??)

Re: Fleet Occurrences
They are things to look out for when down the scrappy. Those don't appear too bad when you consider some of the other manufacturers' wheel nut wrenches are made of brie.

Re: Fleet Occurrences
Caliper replacement actually went really smoothly. I even had minimal strife from the Eazibleed which I have never got in with.
Old caliper had the worst condition piston I have ever seen.
Cleaned up the pad carriers and guide pins.
Everything went back together fine and I've got a decent pedal and stopping power.
Shame about the wheel. I can't use the spare as it looks ropey and has a bald tyre.

Re: Fleet Occurrences
That piston is rough!
This any good? You can get two hands on it too.

Re: Fleet Occurrences
Cheers, I have one of those but I wouldn't trust that weld to hold with the amount of force I was using!

With the cross braces you can sit on your arse and use your feet and pull it at the same time. I haven't been beat yet anyway .

Re: Fleet Occurrences
With a cross-brace I tend to put the other end on an axle stand to stop it slipping off the nut & stamp on it.
