Who hasn't used a screwdriver back in the day... (and then found out the replacement you'd bought didn't fit...)

The main problem is : No body read the installation guide on a filter . If someone over tightening , then you have a no choice and you must breaking the Isaac Newton Laws and use your Own methods to remove it.

Where is it people put their fingers when changing pads so they could be trapped by a sudden brake application by the SBC.... I've often wondered. In between the disc and piston? Why would you do that?

Did you get that??? Or just to make your score up???

It's you that didn't read it properly and missed something. He previously worked on his suspension and thought the brakes would be no problem after that
