Yep you can look at the hole through the caliper for thickness, also feel the disc, is it scored?

The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.” -

Tony, get yourself to "Brakes International" just off Drake street for a second oppinion!Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Originally posted by scooby View PostTony, they fit as well as supply, but check if they are still there... I'm not sure if they are. (head from John street to Milnrow road, they're round the bend on the left after Carcraft and TK Max)

Well it's just filed it's MOT on one of the rear brake calipers. This dispite the rear pads and drums being 'replaced' a few months ago. Surely this part would have to have been removed to do this job.
Also it didn't fail the MOT on the front discs.

confused here, if you have drums on the rear you wont have calipers.
(0) is the idea of calipers with the circle being the disk.
A drum is sumething that pushes outwards to brake the shoes---------------------------------------------------

To help you next time not to look like you have "overcharge me I know very little about cars" written all over you.
If you have drum brakes on the rear then you have pistons and shoes and a drum
If you have disc brakes then you have callipers, pads and discs.
No you don't need to remove pistons to fit new shoes but if they were weeping then it could be spotted they were on the way out. Unless the garage has taken the drums off to have a look there's NO WAY they can see it's X or Y that's at fault with certainty after a fail on the brake testing machine.Comment

a drum in this case is shaped like a round biscuit tin and something the shoes press against.Comment
