Had the rear rack plate off yesterday and gave it a coat of Hammerite satin black. Refitted today but kind of got carried away.
Both wheels, exhaust (all of), rear suspension linkage are now all over the garden.
Just spotted you mention the disc bolt drill out jig on another thread Mr Hentry. Thank you very much, hopefully won"'t need it but did you once make SS wheel spacers?
Be nice to replace while the wheels are off but no prob if not.
Got to wait till next week for the disc bolts so plenty of time to get these undone.
By the way, to get that bitch of a pin/bush out of the rear linkage, I stuck a drill down the side of the lug bolt hole to get another old drill bit in to use as a punch. Worked a treat, very surprised at the small amount of corrosion holding it in on the left hand side where it sits in the lug. Quick rub of wire wool and is now almost too loose.
Also only tiny marks on the bushes, not that I expected anything more with so little mileage.Â
