My regular Drill has a Button to lock the gears so that you can undo the Chuck. My 'New Drill' doesn't have that.

Bargain of the year! But only if I can get the Chuck undone, as unlike my other drill, there is not a button to lock the Motor.

Under the Passenger Knee Pad, undoing this Panel with a Coin will reveal a Cluster of Fuses including the Ones for the ABS as well as the Brake Pump.

My Not so wonderful 'Tool Box' where many of those Spanners came from the Pound Shop £1 I've got a few more Sockets in a Box somewhere.

Just Wizz a bit off the Top and Bottom Edge with a Sander or File, until the Brake Pads Slide in and out nice and easy using fingers only.

After Sanding a couple of thou off the Top and Bottom of the Metal part of the Pad it went in easy. Don't let the Brake Cleaner anywhere near the Rubber Pistons on the Caliper, just in case it makes them soft or melts them.

When this Brake Pad was New it Slid in easy but not any more it just jams. So after I got out the Sander and Skimmed a few thou off it slid in without any problem.

That's the way to do it! After I skimmed a bit off the edge of the metal backing pad, they went in dead easy, complete with a New Fitting Kit.

Out of the Box, the New Pads were a really tight fit and so not for the first time, I skimmed a bit off with the Sander.

These are a slightly different design that doesn't have a slot. Not the ones I wanted but they were what I got, as the Company I bought them off were using 'Generic Photos' But as it was so much hassle to have to send them back, I put it down to experience and decided to keep them.

Absolutely Amazing! Only £1 from the Pound Shop. It makes it so much easier when you can see what you're doing.

After 16 year of Standing the Old Pads had to go, which also gave me a chance to check the Rear Calipers.

With the Lifting Cup removed on my Low Profile Jack, I can reduce the height from 4in to 3 1/2in if I need to. (Useful for some Jobs)

Not much difference now between my Standard Jack and my Low Profile Jack. Plus the Extra Length of the Standard Jack is something I've found useful.

My Standard 3Ton Trolley Jack with the Lifting Cup Removed, which was 5 3/4inches high from the ground to the Top of the Lifting Cup but with the Lifting Cup now only measures 4 3/4 high (An all important One Inch difference in Height)

There is quite a Big Difference in height between the Two as you can see 1 3/4 inches difference in this case.

My Low Profile Trolley Jack. The Highest Part of the Side Profile on the Body was 6inches (The same as my Standard one!) But the Height from the Floor to the Top of the Lifting Cup was only 4inches.

When I fitted New Brake Pads, I skimmed a bit off the Top and Bottom edge by using a Sander, so they Slid in really nice and easy. Don't let Brake Cleaner anywhere near the Calipers as there's a chance it 'could' affect the Rubber.

'Generic Parts Photos' Don't you just love em! I wanted the Brake Pads with the Groove as show in the Photo of the Supplier that I ordered them from and they sent me the Solid ones instead, which were not like the ones that I ordered and paid for.
