Hi Guys'n Gals,

Just a quick question about the above....how easy a job is this?

I assume the discs are held on by countersunk screws?

Any helps is greatly appreciated!!

Cheers, Steve.

Simple job.
Clean everything using brake cleaner.
Use only a copper based grease to lubricate moving parts (don't forget the slider pins)
Don't get grease on the friction materials.
Take your time!

Why don't I see the funny side of those two statements? :disapp:

In English, one can get on with a job (i.e. Don't wait, don't procrastinate) but take your time while doing it to get it right...

Or am I wrong there?

Must be different in Australia to the UK. 

If someone told me to get on with it, I would take that as being told to "hurry up" :undecided:

Are you being Pedantic Mr Perkins?

If Trish said to Me " Hurry up and load the dishwasher and then when I started doing it said "take your time" I would say "make up your F'ing mind"  :snigger:

Pedantic? Me Daz? Not at all, simply pointing out the importance of understanding the language.
Get on with it - don't leave the job a while... It can't wait.

Once the job is under way - take your time & do it properly.
