Very useful, good photos, I shall keep it in mind if I have to do mine. reminds me of changing the CV gaiter on the Cavalier, you had to take off the front brake disc, and the wheel bearing nut was also done up to some ridiculous torque, all for the sake of a 10quid rubber bit!. Then some clever person invented one that was split which you could super glue in place ! Grin

Having seen the master DTM in action, it certainly did look easy, and took 30mins....

Indeed. It took me exactly 30 minutes - to get the dust cap off... Sad

The rest took another 3 hours. Grin
