How do you go about bleeding front brakes on a 2wd. I cant quite remember but im sure there is 2 bleed screws. Is there a different procedure to follow.

Thanks for info. The cars doing fine im totally used to that power now and can just about drive it with out overtaking sideways lol, ive just had problems with front n/s caliper, 1 of the pistons is seized solid and the other on the same side wont return fully so ive bought a couple of recon calipers wich should br here today. Did you say you had some spare abs sensors cos when i checked em the drivers side front won was broken in half nearly.

if one of the abs sensors is shafted then it might be a bit of amison to get out
i've broken 2 getting them out because they are siezed into the hubs

you might have to bite the bullet and get new ones if theystart to play up, but until then, don't touch them any more than you need too

you can also get ones from a granada as long as th eplugs are the right sizes on the ends

u may find it easiers to strip down the hub assembly & tap the sensors out from the back to avoid breaking them all. if they on't pull out easily then they will break.
let me know if u need any sensors & I will have have a look if I have any more.
if u get fed up of it u could always px it against my pulsar gtir

You shoud've just popped the pistons and seals out and cleaned them. They can be done in half hour. Aluminium oxide builds up behind the seals causing the pistons to seize in place. I'll be at the scrappers sunday morning as I need some bits for a car I'm sorting so will let you know.

If you need it back on the road bring the calipers over and I'll sort them for you while you put the exhaust back on the Cabbie. Take a pic of the connector and email it over for the abs sensor as some are diffrenet apparently.

You would be better takin cabby to scrappers with u and swapin it for my sensors, ill give you a quid for em. Ian How come you ended up with a pulsar, i thought it was bad language to mention jap crap on here lol I need one sensor as the o/s is broken.
