Ah, I’ve got nothing that big, sorry. There’ll be something on here, and you’ll know it won’t be a piece of crap off Gumtree.

I’ll take these if they’re still available? Will pm you.

Normally yeah, but the bolt is backed right up into the nut, there’s probably only 2mm depth left and it’s not enough to grip it. It’s also too seized for needle-nosed pliers to be effective. I’ve soaked it in plus gas and will try the slot method tomorrow. While I’m stuck at home I don’t have access to proper workshop tools or even a bloody vice but I’ll give it a go.

No. I can get the left arm off but the rest is attached via the centre pivot.

Sick burn bruh

I have a front brake seized onto a fork here. Previous owner fitted it, and the recessed nut was too long or he didn’t use the correct spacer up front but the bolt topped out without tightening the brake fully so it rocks about. The bolt has extended almost to the end of the nut so that I can’t get the Allen key in fully, and it’s rounded off. It’s also rusted on.
I’ve thought about cutting a slot across the head of the nut and using a flat blade driver on it, but other than that I’m a bit stumped. It’s a decent calliper so I’d rather try and not destroy it by cutting it off. Any thoughts or ideas? Esp @mdcc_tester I guess :)

The one funny thing he did was a brief monologue back in the early 80’s
picks up phone
“Hello, is that Lords? I’d like to speak to either of the England opening batsmen please.
They’ve just gone out to bat?
That’s ok, I’ll wait”
Cool, will pm you for your addy.
