3 Questions around brakes:
1. About to set about changing all 4 flexi pipes on the CQ as I had an advisary on the MOT last year. Anything I should be aware of tackling the job or is it fairly straight forwards to do?
Have you got the flexi pipes? if you haven't they are now NLA IRRC
2. The car had brand new discs and pads all round about 4-5 years ago, and has done about 5000 miles since and they are squeeling a fair bit when braking, anything I should be looking out for, or is it a case of taking out the pads, re-applying some cooper slip and see what happens (the discs don't look scored)
Hmmmmmm rust/scoring may mean you need new ones...................fingers crossed you dont
3. If I go about taking the brakes apart to check, whats the procedure for winding back the calipers, its a straight push in or do you have to wind in the cylinder, if so do I need a special tool to do so?
No Idea sorry I pay the garage to do this
Thanks!
