My brakes needed changing… or so I thought!?!
Upon removing my wheel, and removing the brake drum I realised the brakes are fine. The bearing however was shot!!
The bearing, for those who are still guessing, is what allows the wheel to spin freely on its center. It sits dead center and shouldn’t allow the wheel to wobble. The wheel wobbled, a lot and made some nasty noises.
So I didn’t need new brakes, I needed a new bearing!
£25 later a new bearing; but me and my dad couldn’t install it as the old one wouldn’t come out. We almost had to buy a whole new drum. All because of a small circlip, designed to hold the bearing in place. My dad and I had to waste an entire afternoon trying differing methods of removing a small bit of metal.
Job done, car fixed!

It really is something to look at 6:45 in the morning… in the fog… in the cold… through tired eyes.
Just did a friend a favour and drove him to the airport this morning. It’s gonna leave me kind of tired but I knew today was going to be long. I’m now about to work my 9-5 job at Landmark, go home, nap, andd then go out for my Grandads birthday. I don’t know how old he is this year, nor have I got him a card - but he’ll understand.
Why? because I have been to Bristol!! (see above);
I’m tempted to organise a spontaneous trip to London to see someone - if the hotel prices are right, and if the car survives the journey…
The the day begin continue

I took some funky test when applying for a job a short while ago.
I just found the results and thought that I would post them…
