If it drips out it drips out. You just have to be quick. | |

You don't need hose clamps if you put a bit of non-breathable plastic under the brake fluid header tank cap -- the vacuum will keep the fluid from dripping out... | |

Id renew the copper washers at least either side of the banjo fitting onto the caliper. Also grease the sliders on the caliper and use copper grease on the back of the pads to stop squealing. | |

will 284mm brakes fit behind 14's??? I thought the minimum was 15's?? I have standard discs which are 255mm and the caliper is about a couple of mm's away from the edge of the standard sport alloys. | |

doesnt have to be a mechanic, i could do it in about 30-45 mins. get yourself a corsa haynes maxing manual and learn how to do stuff, it shouldnt take u longer than 2 hours if you havent done it before. its very simple. only thing you will need as a special tool is a set of brake hose clamps. | |
