So you upgraded then? Great choiceI missed both of mine so much I got a Freelander..
Are there 2 different brake calipers on that rear disc?He asked me to fit a back tyre, mentioned the "swingarm" (exhaust hanger and suspension support) bearing may need replacing, turns out someone has already been in there and made a royal mess of it all..
After taking the wheel off I noticed the rear caliper had been missing a pad retaining pin for quite some time, and the slider pin was not bolted to the carrier!. To top it off pads were worn down to the metal.
Managed to find some 2nd hand bits and make it all safe.

Got this done today and forgot to take photos . Well, I took two. Useless.Pre-emptive post for tomorrow's repair.
This bracket should be attached to the axle of my Sorento.

It's the top radius arm mount. Most of the mark 1 axles were repaired years ago due to this issue. The bracket was boxed and filled with muck and water causing said corrosion. How mine has survived this long is a mystery (it's done 165,000 miles). Kia did replacement mounts that were dealer fitted and were still doing this 5 years ago as a good will gesture.
Anyway, I had to make my own.

Off to my mates tomorrow to use his two post lift. I post the results.
I do have a spare axle now with a good LSD in it and replacement brackets which were clearly dealer fitted at a branch where no one could weld...

Reading the original instructions gave me hope that it was worth a risk to fire it up.
Please use the correct fuel, modern petrol is not good for you or the iron. Coleman do the fuel.

Who knew motorbikes had handbrakes?Yes, the big one is the rear hydraulic brake caliper, the little one behind it is the cable operated handbrake caliper.
