If they use lube lots use copperease and that's about the worst thing you can use. It just dries out to a sticky thick mess.integrale_evo wrote: ↑Thu Feb 24, 2022 8:55 pm Pins are worth a look, as someone may have used lube in the past which may have gummed up. You’ll need a 7mm socket / bit though which most standard kits don’t contain.
I've had a look at 'new' prices of calipers (about £100), where can you find refurb/exchange ones?Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 12:49 pm Check the cost of refurb/exchange calipers too, for the faff they save it's often well worth it.

Exactly, but double check the fitment, that ad says 325 & 330 but I have a nagging feeling the 330 calipers are different to the smaller models.Carlos wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 1:25 pm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165292101424
I wouldn't get my hands dirty at that price !
Yeah, that's the plan - and again, the MSport got bigger brakes which affects wheel fitment etc as I understand it, so it might be I need a very specific part number.Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 1:40 pmExactly, but double check the fitment, that ad says 325 & 330 but I have a nagging feeling the 330 calipers are different to the smaller models.Carlos wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 1:25 pm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165292101424

I don't think they did on the E46, but the 330 has a larger disc than the 325/328 and the caliper is slightly different.Beany wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 3:02 pmYeah, that's the plan - and again, the MSport got bigger brakes which affects wheel fitment etc as I understand it, so it might be I need a very specific part number.Sundayjumper wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 1:40 pmExactly, but double check the fitment, that ad says 325 & 330 but I have a nagging feeling the 330 calipers are different to the smaller models.Carlos wrote: ↑Fri Feb 25, 2022 1:25 pm https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/165292101424

BTW, the short shift kit is amazing, what a difference once you get used to it (which doesn't take long).
