    LMAO, sorry but that title brought a smile to my face, picturing myself trying to explain to my wife why I'm not slowing down

    Its a bastard when it happens and you can end up doing a lot of damage to rotors and calipers if your noy carefull. The up side is if your a manual with some forceful gear changes life shouldn't be too bad

    Yeah it's a bugger. It has happened to me. The rotors were a write off. I had spare pads at camp so fitted them but had to replace the rotors when I got home.

    If you can clamp off the brake line to that side you should still be able to use the other side. I carry spare pads when touring for this reason, I know a few guys that have been in this situation.

    Today I replaced front and rear pads on the GUIV getting ready for the Madigam Line in a few weeks. The old pads will go into spares.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
