Brake Spanner

[Predictable Bob]

I've had a rush of blood to the head and I'm considering fiddling with my brakes ......

<Cue sucking of teeth & shaking heads>

Anyway, I'm going to have to spend some pennies on a brake spanner, my guess is that it's going to be metric, 10 or 11 mm, but does anybody know for certain ?

10mm for the nuts to take the brake line off of the cylinder

Cheers Richard !

I've got permission to go for the braided brake lines so I thought I'd change the fluid while I'm at it - although it's dependent on me getting a tax rebate in a few weeks time.

Good luck with it.



































The rebate that is.

10mm All round basically.
Halfords do one for about £5.
Good luck dude, dont forget the bleed sequence.

That's what gave me the nerve to do it ! It's been about 20 years since I wielded a spanner in anger .......

TIP, to save the master cylinder seals, after you've opened
the brake line, keep the brake pedal on the floor with a
weight, stops fluid dripping, whilst you work on the system,
then give it a full bleed.

Oh, dont't forget a pair of MOLE grips to undo the brake nuts
after they've been rounded off, with your new 10mm spanner

Gman.
