Chez,

When hunting for a "good" BJB (Brake Junction Block), pull the switch first, looking for dry conditions that will indicate working seals. The plastic switch is 12mm as I recall. To get the end caps off (19mm?), I clamped it in a big vise and used an impact wrench. But a strong box-end and heavy hammer should work too.

As to the rear end clunk, I'll look for the new thread, and post a comment there.


Good luck,
