Washers to expensive

Post by PV »

Hi guys

Does anyone know if washers must be placed under the bolts which connect the front brake calipers to the legs?

When I cleaned break(pads) I noticed there weren't any under the bolts and the legsurface where the bolts rest on look pretty deformed.
User guide isn't clear about this.

Other: Is it recommended to replace fuel filter by myself?

(excuses for bad grammatic)

Thank you

Cant comment on the washers at the moment but I changed my fuel filter last week. It took about 2 hours; you need to remove the tank to get access to the pump and filter. You may need a new rubber O ring gasket and I recommend you put "jubilee" clamps on in place of the original clamps which you will probably damage as you remove them. Its an easy job If you take your time. :D

I looked in the repair manual and there are no washers shown on the diagram.
