Although I’ve made some progress today, getting the other brake pipe fitted, system bled and one of the rear springs done... it decended into the most frustrating day of ML ownership to date.
Some muppet had done all the rear wheel bolts tighter than you could imagine and I had to use a lever bar plus a length of scaffold pipe to crack them off.
Was going well till the locking wheel nut key sheared internally, so now I’m stuck until Fri when a local garage can get a specialist tool on there... even then I’m skeptical due to the torque it’s been done up to.
Can’t begin to describe how frustrating it is, MOT was booked for the morning and the spring was the last job to do!
