    shouldn't be any need to bleed the lines though? unless you're doing the fluid too?

    side note to the torquing too, always nip it after it clicks....
    Cheers mate! Will order the parts later this month. I'm going to replace all the lines hence the need for bleeding but should be pretty straightforward with the Dad or Brother pumping the pedal!

    Still have the jolt in the steering wheel... I have tightened and checked everything and just can't figure out why it jolts when I accelerate. Might have to take it back to the alignment guys AGAIN and get it done, it definitely feels like I can turn left easier than right so maybe the camber is out.

    It think it always happens when I put my foot down, so torque steer would explain it.

    Jimmy to the rescue! Will give this a shot. So loosen off and then retighten? Or just tighten again once its on the ground?
