  • How the fuck is it done??

    I have apparently unscrewed everything their is to unscrew but absolutely no avail! Am I missing a trick or are all of them different and I'm just going to receive abuse?

    Thanks

    Unhelpful twat thread somewhere over here------------>>

  • I think a picture would probably help- normally one undoes the main alan bolts that hold them to the frame/fork and they come straight off, or so I believe.

  • There should only be one bolt on the front of each leg. WD40 and lever them of gently with a flat bladed screw driver.
    Or you could twat it with a hammer if all else fails.

  • ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
    Sounds about right, do the units move on the fittings?
    If they do not, try said large blade screwdriver leverage option.

    Or a recently cleaned knife.

  • Knife would be fine - but I'd clean it after tinkering.

    And then what happened?!?

    I got hard thinking about you and have to leave it.

  • I hope you put the knife down.

  • Is it the front or the rear brake that you are trying to remove?

    In between rushing off to answer your Ma3k engendred primal urges obviously.
