    I thought I might get away with reusing the wear sensor but can't seem to be able to cancel the warning light with my Gap tool so tomorrow I'll put the new one on.
    Thnx. for the info. fellow sufferers.

    PS. I did check Bodsy's brake bible first and found where he says for a 15mm OE spanner it actually needed a 17mm one. That was for the inner nut where you remove the bolt to allow the assembly to swing up. Otherwise he's done a great job with heaps of good stuff there for us all.

    The 17mm are for the 3.0 brakes, 15mm for 2.7.

    There’s no squealing or undue wear signs on any rotor front or back.

    PS. Bloke in the van next to us is driving back to Darwin for his next service as they just refused to even change the oil and filters on his Hyundai. If they can’t do even
    that they are truly a bunch of useless *******.
    That's pretty poor!
    I got an upper water housing changed by the local mechanic in Tom Price without fuss.
    Maybe add a trip to Karijini?
    If at first you don't succeed, that's one data point. - xkcd

    Too late Redtail, we're back. But I've changed the rear pads and there was no scoring on the discs as about a mill or two left on the pads. Did about 4K with warming message on the screen.
