Just gonna have to chance it. My worry is that the piston will start to disintegrate under pressure. Will just stay off the rear as as much as possible. Can't believe how weak the piston was. Mind you, that'll teach me to stick too ring spanners into a caliper and squeezing them together. Expensive lesson Will stick some pics up when i replace it.

Monster 821. The bane of my life.

Happy birthday stu!

Sorry no pic i've reassembled it but using your pic, the piston on the far left has a 5mm hole on the centre of the face that makes contact with the rear of the pad. Im guessing its going to get gunked up with brake dust and detritus. Excuse the shit picture, i've tried marking it up in the iphone but the black represents the hole

Changed my rear pads today and was struggling to get both cylinders back into the calliper flush. Only need a mm to get the calliper back over the disc so used two ring spanners to push the back a bit. Not excessive force by any means but one of the cylinders now has a small hole in it where the face of the cylinder has broken. I've bought a whole new brembo calliper but it wont be here for a week, so my question is, how safe is the current one? Tried it out and it still breaks, also no break fluid pissing out.

There is a lazy assumption that pervades political discussions at the moment, which is that if you don't support Corbyn you are by necessity a dupe of the mainstream media. It's as though their portrayal of Corbyn as a slow-witted fool with hopelessly simplistic and outdated ideas automatically precludes the possibility that he might - in fact - be a slow-witted fool with hopelessly simplistic and outdated ideas. There are only two places I read the Murdoch press: in the hairdressers, and in the Chinese when I'm waiting for a take-out. It is - without exception - low-grade, simplistic brain-rotting drivel, and in my opinion anyone who relies on it to inform their political opinions shouldn't be allowed to vote in the first place. I mean come one - it's not as though the journalism in more high-brow papers is unintelligible to anyone without a PhD in political science, is it? But I digress... Not all of us judge Corbyn by what the newspapers say. We judge him by what comes out of his own mouth, by how he responds to political interrogation, by the painful inevitability with which he blunders into the patently booby-trapped questions that cock-sure interviewers lay for all their interviewees, and by his actions. I first came across Corbyn's brand of politics as a teenager in the late 1980s. I was born and brought up on a university campus, surrounded by a fascinating collection of mainstream and more oddball academics. One of our neighbours was a professor of social anthropology who had traveled extensively in China and was a total convert to Chinese socialism, and with his blue Mao Suit and copy of the Little Red Book (from which he would quote at length) he was an odd figure by any standards. He remained a family friend until he died a couple of years ago, and in all that time I never understood how anyone could have been so completely bowled over by such simplistic and asinine twaddle. And then a couple of years ago Corbyn popped up as the prospective Labour leader, and I thought "Oh Jesus - you've got to be kidding. Not this shite again..." I'm not saying otherwise. And i agree. It's quite clear the Murdoch media had little effect on the outcome of this election and, thanks to election impartiality rules, Corbyn got his message across to voters. He didn't win, far from it, but every single party that ever won an election had to make inroads somewhere. The notion that the Tories won, however, is the same as saying you went into a casino with £50, lost £40 and declaring you won a tenner.

I wont hold my breath waiting for the Murdoch/Dacre empire to label the Tories as terrorist sympathisers.

The Tories didn't win either, though. Hence why they are trying to scrabble together a coalition of chaos with a bunch of gay hating, anti abortionist, terrorists. "Youngsters without a clue" The only clueless one is your weak and wobbly leader. She wanted a mandate for a hard brexit and got laughed away. Thanks to the Tories, you no longer have a majority and in all likeliness will get the softest of brexits going. Seems Mayhem is remain after all

Had to have a chuckle at this: Had this been 2 weeks ago no doubt the Sun headline would be: Misogynist terrorist sympathiser is Marxist sex attack further proving ties to the IRA.

This hits the nail squarely on the head: Despite all the daft Obi wan Kenobi memes and "Jez we can!" enthusiasm of his supporters, Corbyn's best chance of success has come entirely from the bizarre political suicide of his opponent. This is the new benchmark of success for Labour, is it? On the positive side, the knives are already out for May so we won't have to put up with her for much longer, which also raises the tantalising possibility of Boris as PM... [attachment=0]IMG_1296.JPG[/attachment] Isn't that how the Tories ousted Brown in the first place? Anyway, Labour surging ahead of the Tories in the polls, Corbyn's approval rating above May's, 150,000 new members join the Labour party since Thursday. https://i.imgur.com/5kfz7kn.gif' alt='IMGUR>'>

Has any party, in recent times, won an election without Murdoch's backing?

And: Haha.

It comes to something when being marginally less shit than predicted is hailed as a triumph. Yeh I know ... The twat lost however you look at it . It is a victory. And a wonderful one at that. mayhems majority has been eroded. Corbyn has the biggest mandate he's ever had to be the Labour Party and opposition leader. Above all else, he has proved all those nazi rags and echoing w**kers wrong. He got the youth off their arse voting. He took seats from the tories. He got the biggest vote share of any labour leader since Blair in 2001. Oh and:

Hung Parliament territory. Goodbye Mrs May you haggard old witch

Between March and April i think she realised she is far from "a bloody difficult woman" and more of a damp squib that is going to get utterly eaten alive by the EU. Best to have a huge majority when the day comes that we leave the EU with absolutely nothing but a huge bill to pay and 2 more years of May in office to spin it into some sort of imperial victory for the UK. Hope it backfires spectacularly. It wont though. Worst case now is a low Tory majority, May resigns and that absolute charlatan, Boris Johnson, becoming PM.

Labour for me. The Tories have offered absolutely nothing but more of the same. Best case hung parliament. Worst case Tory landslide. Fingers crossed for the youth turnout.

Whatever, I'm not a politician or a lawyer. Prime Minister said this morning we've been too tolerant of extremism in our society and suggested change in law is needed, I don't like the woman on lots of levels, but I liked that bit. If its already there we need to start enforcing it. The fact is we have hate preachers in our country, we have demonstrations like the one Six30 posted photos of, we have these 500 cases MI5 are looking at, we have Muslim communities who are aware of extremism in their communities and turned a blind eye, we have British people who have travelled to Syria to fight for IS and come home and live free. None of it should be allowed to continue. Since all of that has been allowed to continue, I assumed the law didn't cover it. We also have 20,000 less Police Officers on the streets. "Enough is Enough" Couldn't agree more, Theresa. Pack your bag and f**k off out of Downing Street.

Looks like you crashed into the 70's!!!

It's this chat about "strong leadership" that gets me. This country has been run into the ground by a succession of incompetent psychopaths and here we are on the verge of voting in the worst of them all, a reincarnation of Unity Mitford with an obsession with privatisation and punishing the poor. We need seal up Parliament at the next PMQ's and demolish the f**king place with all of the self serving ***** inside.

All Heil Overload May.
