Hi Jules,

This bolt is the caliper mounting bolt. What you should do is clean the bolts with degreasing. This will then show the shinny patches were it is catching.

Grant

Please send me your pm and I can then get the workshop manual for the GQ patrol to you. Alternatively we can get together. The complete file is around 120 MB.
