Would imagine the rear hubs not getting too hot. Im only going by my own experience with my car, and the paint now not being noticable, and practically all gone around the hub where i painted them. | |

Like the calipers, but the hubs look gash and the paint will burn off quite fast :) | |

Finally got around to doing my calipers this afternoon. They were more corroded than i first thought too. To say they were tight was understatement too! Which is where we came across our first problem! The head of the bolts had as good as rounded off by the time they were off, which means no car tomorrow! :mad: Then when we had struggled and eventually got the pads out they were no good too! The inner pad on both calipers had worn right down to the metal, but the outer one was fine. So once the bolts and pads were out i went round the caliper with a wire brush then a wire wheel attached to a power drill. I wire brushed and heamery clothed the caliper pins down as there was quite a bad build up of rust on them. The calipers were then given a blast over with the compressor ;). Then they were given a coating of celulose followed by the Hammerite. |
