Changed the inner & outer CV boots, front outer track rod end, new front brake caliper seals & dust boot, pistons were in good order so just gave them a bit of a wet 400grit paper on the exposed top minor corrosion. New front brake rotors, new front brake pads. Thought I was done, went to turn all the wheels, rear brake disc backing plate had decided it would be a good time to let go of the handbrake shoe assembly.

New one ordered, fit. Job’s a good ‘un…. or so I thought…

It’s found my Kryponite….
