After searching around we find that M8 x 1.00mm nipples are not very common. In the end we have to order them from Mazda and end up spending £17 for them!!
Re-assembled the brake callipers (mmm… re-assembling takes longer than disassembling!) Put the callipers back on and bled the brakes.
We put the wheels back on, and take the car off the axle stands – time for a test drive. Brakes seem ok, one of the front calipers is sticking slightly on first press, after that it’s ok. Bit of a wobble on the steering wheel, which slowly develops to a clunk.
Jack the car back up and check the wheels. Note to self, tighten the bloody wheel nuts properly before going for a drive! Potential accident avoided, we go for another drive, everything seems good now.
Notice the front offside shock absorber is a bit lazy. Will have to get them replaced later.
The Bedford Autodrome track day is next weekend, so let’s get it booked!
