[Mgs] Final brake caliper question

[Gosling, Richard]

Might as well replace the flex-hoses while you are at it, unless you've
already done that recently.  And the pads, if they are starting to get
thin.  Check the thickness and condition of the discs as well.

The bolts holding the caliper on go over a tab washer - sort of dog-bone
shaped thing that has a washer at each end joined by a strip in the
middle, with tabs that fold up against the flats of the bolt.  When they
are old the tabs tend to snap off rather than bend, so get replacements
for these.  Part no BTC114.

Normally I advocate using new bolts whenever you take an old one out,
but the ones holding the caliper on are pretty big sturdy ones, and they
receive an adequate covering of greasy muck to prevent them rusting, so
probably not necessary here.
