Rear caliper retaining bolts

Post by Phimosis »

someone please confirm, the larger bolt nearest the front of the bike I cannot move, now just making sure it isnt a weird thread and that its the same as usual, is it normal for these bolts to be solid?

No. 13 - normal AFAIK probably seized - try some localised heat on the head of the stubborn bolt / but protect the main part of the caliper.
It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

Sorted it in the end and DONT BUY PYRAMID PADS....grrr they are too wide to fit in even witht he piston right at home, the only way I could get the piston in was to take off the brake hose then it went in like a greased stallion at stud....I didnt realise how such a teeny amout of fluid you need, think I did it right but bleeding it through was strange, not like the front calipers, any how it works..for now.
