Re: My wing mirror just fell off :(

I used a quick fix by the use of silicone and then cable ties to hold the mirror on until the silicone had set this was because the internal screw had been chewed up by the previous o...

Re: removing front discs

If you can get use of a bearing puller, this will stop any damage to the bearings. Its basically three arms which hook onto the disc then a threaded bolt in the middle tightens onto the hub, slowly pulling the disc off. No stress from hammering!!
