What is the larger pipe that runs with the rest of pipes, it's about 10mm and has a bleed nipple on the end

Would it be easier to swap the rear axle then?

Would it need a slide hammer to get the half shaft out?

Now it's got at least another year's life left, when i took one of the rear brake drums off, the oil seal in the end of the rear axle is seeping oil onto the back plate. How big a job is it to replace the oil seal?

Good news it passed it's mot today so hopefully another year with my maverick!!

Well took it for a run yesterday and all seems well so will book it in for the mot, Was talking to a pal of mine who youse to own his own garage a few years ago and when he had problems with the brake compensating valve like my problem he jammed a piece of wood in them to open the valve to make...

Right then progress so far, tried the method Rick suggested and worked to a point, but still a little spongy, so ended up undoing the union of the pipe that goes to the top of the brake sensor got someone to pump the pedal and low and behold it was like undoing a bleed nipple on a house...

Thanks for the advice, that's Sunday's job then will let you know, fingers crossed!!

That sounds interesting Rick, never done it like that before should you still start at the furthest caliper away from the master cylinder?

Thanks for the response have done the bleeding part, ended up going through a litre of brake fluid, but just can't seem to stop the spongy pedal, will try adjusting the rear brakes to see what that does. Above the rear axle there is what I think is a brake compensator with a bleed nipple on the...

Hi all, not been on for a while, was thinking of getting rid of my Maverick but had a change of heart, so took it for a MOT and it failed on front to back brake pipes, have changed them but they are very spongy to the point of not drivable as anyone got any ideas please!!

I get about 24/25 out of mine with the caravan on the back, that's going around 55mph and my van is about a ton.

YES that's great do you do paypal?

Cheers for that if postage is not silly money I will have it.

I drive a bus and on my way to Barnsley a couple of weeks ago was following a 57 plate Merc van, I think he had put veggi oil in, it was coughing spluttering and kicking loads of smoke out, but the give away was!!!!!!!!!!! the SMELL :lol

Are you able to post mate

Yep cheap a 1/2 the price :lol:lol

Sorted, got a used one for £70 and it's back to normal, thanks for all the info, a garage we took it to said it was the injector pump, so wont be going to him again!!

I have to agree, I put Axel stands and the wheel + blocks of 6x2 cos these Mavericks are heavy buggers and they wont take any prisoners, I am looking for a heavy duty jack at the moment.

Mine just says TD as well so I think that's panic over :clap, AS for insurance you cant be too careful, does everyone know you have to declare tow bars are fitted!!
