I'll not lie, i was expecting 2.5-3hrs to remove and replace not 5hrs just to 90% remove.

Everything had been soaking in penetrating fluid from the night before as well.

Apparently an engine is arriving for me on Monday as well so should progress quite quickly once everything is here.

Well, after the nightmare that was the removal, i'm glad to say it was a lot nicer refitting the new kit.

Nice, clean new stuff. Cleaned up brake lines and new disc securing screws made of stainless rather than the usual rubbish.

Are those reman. carriers? I'm detecting a subtle shade of red which wasn't on the originals.

Would dearly love to get to doing this on mine now, but no time. I'd want to powder coat the lot - carriers, splash guards and knuckles...

I get my powder down really cheaply but need a worthwhile amount to do before i send them off.

Another manifold swap as well...

Wouldn't mind seeing a picture of what you replace these with, re. coating/refurb etc.
