Default Re: Definitive au2-au3 brake upgrade thread

Ok just bolted up the secondhand s2 uprights and noticed the left hub noisy with the disc on.
So pulled off my hub from the s1 upright easily by hand, but had to use a hydraulic puller on the s2 one.

When it finally popped off found the inner race stuck to the spindle, had to use a grinder cutting disc to carefully make a slot in it to cut the ring and get a chisel in then made a groove to chisel the race off the spindle.

Put my hub on after cleaning up the shaft surface and a smear of grease.

Next was the s2 calipers on, noticed the s2 hose is a tad short when wheel fully turned and fitting does not have hex pattern in end of hose to secure it to the body while tightening the nut.

The bleeding nipple also faces toward the upright and is very close, making one man bleeding tools a tight fit.

So after i bleed the brakes and test out the new calipers and new ball joints and super pro bushes i will try and get some braided front hoses.

Will finish bleeding and test drive in the morning.
