That's what happens when a) we live halfway up a mountain and b) I can't ride the damn thing.
It's not woeful, what you see is all I needed.
My trolley jack and Mrs P's mulcher are bigger. Close, but no cigar
No, we're on lockdown and I'm being a responsible citizenSo it's just a decorative ornament?

Actually, yes. A few minor abrasions on the back of my right hand from using too much grunt on the spanner to release the right silencer bolt. It didn't shift with the first attempt at modest pressure so I used a (very) bit more and clobbered the back of my hand on the swing arm. I'm a nobWhat no injuries ?
Good heads-up actually, Beaks. I just ordered a set off Amazon, £3.45. I couldn't be arsed looking in the tool kit and Mrs P will always find a use for them

Wear those minor abrasions with pride boyo, they are honourably won battle scars in the never ending conflict twixt man and machinery.
We salute you sirrah, well done

Im not so sure Andy ... I think he took a while trying to find a person called Alan, who head would fit ??
And Alan helped him fix the pads ??

Ah, so that’s where I went wrong. If I’d gone straight to me bloody tool box, I could’ve been done in ten minutes
Worth investing in a set of 'T' handled ones too.Good heads-up actually, Beaks. I just ordered a set off Amazon, £3.45. I couldn't be arsed looking in the tool kit and Mrs P will always find a use for them
I'll ask Mrs P if she need a setWorth investing in a set of 'T' handled ones too.
It is, actually. According to the manual, it's a three spanner indicator meaning 'Fairly difficult, suitable for a competent DIY mechanic'. I am not in any stretch of the imagination 'a competent DIY mechanic', so I'm starting to wonder what else I can do for myselfGlad you got it done with no major issues mate, quite satisfying isn't it ?
. I'm not exactly sure that's a good thing

Still kickin' it!
Harsh.
My dad owned his own motor vehicle repair business, so I can't remember the first time I picked up a spanner.There's a first time for everything and (obviously, from the above) the first time you do a job on your bike it's gotta be a twitchy experience...
...especially where brakes
are concerned. 
You still getting your nails done whilst we're locked down then?
