Well, did the job and the parts from Murrays direct, were perfect.

Only slight problem is this. The o/s/f brake is binding lightly. Just enough to notice the car 'stick' a little as it coasts to a stop. The disc is very warm- if not hot.

I notiiced, when the brakes were off, that the ally calipers are each fitted with four stainless steel pieces (fixed with one screw each) to stop the steel pad backs from wearing the calipers. One of mine was lifted off the caliper slightly by either corrosion or grime, but I couldn't get the screw out to clean underneath.

Does anyone know how best to deal with this?

We ground the pad backs' edges flat in a bench grinder but disdn't really relieve them. Worried that they might rattle when more worn.
