The Spitfire’s front brake calipers have suffering from chronic seizures (as I discovered the hard way during my maiden voyage home from the shop after getting the floorpans replaced) – the calipers came off easier than expected, though …
Was planning to replace the brake discs as well, but just realised I’d need to remove hub, repack bearing grease, etc – not feeling that ambitious…

My kid has Legos more difficult to assemble than the Spitfire’s front disc brake calipers & pads!

Kinda unnerving that these Lilliputian cotter pins are the only thing holding the brake pad mounting pins in place…

Getting the caliper retainer bolts to thread thru through several layers of dust shields requires equal parts zen patience and luck – especially after one realizes that the bottom one must be seated first!

One new brake caliper installed: 1/2 way there to discovering a New World of Awesome Stopping Power! I feel like Columbus…
