Hi, my name is Brian and welcome to my RU-vid channel.
I live in Dumfries, SW Scotland.
I am a motor mechanic to trade of 22 years, in that time I worked in 3 main dealerships BL/Austin Rover, Ford & Vauxhall.
Got out the trade back in 1999 and started a catering business.
Been into motorbikes for over 40 years and just got my full bike licence December 2020 lol.
So the videos I will be posting will be mainly bike/car related and with some home cooking chucked in.
Cheers Brian

Did you find the cause of the stiff rear brake? I recently got a 2000 RS imported from the US. The rear caliper looks brand new inside. Once rebuilt and bled it still has very little travel on the lever.

One of the pistons was seized solid. Are your pistons moving freely and also there's adjustment on the rod coming out of the master cylinder.

@@TheWeeBaldyBiker Pistons are moving freely. I took the master cylinder apart this weekend and rebled. It still has very little movement in the pedal, but it'll quite easily lock the rear wheel. Maybe I'm just used to other bikes.

@TheWeeBaldyBiker
@TheWeeBaldyBiker 9 месяцев назад
I was getting a knock going over a bump in the road, also when I jacked the car up there was movement in the rear wheel. The way I done that is, jack up under the lower suspension arm, get someone to press the brake and you try and turn the rear wheel back and forward, if there's any movement that usually shows wear in the joints. I used a trolley jack for that.

This slide show is so helpful, just starting this job on my 2012. How much does the subframe and diff weigh? is lowering the subframe and diff manageable with a jack only? How did you do it. Also did you need to buy the BMW X5 bush tool or can those bushes be removed with a push/ pull tool like for the rear ball joints?
@TheWeeBaldyBiker
@TheWeeBaldyBiker Год назад
I lowered the complete subframe with a trolley jack and a batton of wood. Once it was out I used my engine crane to move it about, it's a 2 man lift without it. To renew the 4 subframe mounting bushes, you'll need the special tool for that.
