Being a complete knob head at anything on my car I need to ask this: why does my haynes manual say that I need to replace the guide pins once I've removed them from the caliper (girling by the way) |

Because they are the only thing that holds the caliper on the car, allbrake pads come c/w new ones, same as hub bolts.
Its the sort of thing you can prolly get away wiht just using loads of locking compaound onthe, but persoanlly i wouldn't take that risk |

wheel bearing needs pressing that a garage can do in one go
but track rods are no biggy ,i can give you a hand with them if needed
and sad enough i just dumped 3 perfect 13" steel wheels with tyres on them a fewe weeks ago ,you could have had them for free if i knew you needed them  |
